sissydear Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 The weather has been great for the festival this year. No rain, no floods, no bitter cold, no heat -- just right, comfortable weather. I have some pics of friends and favorite marble makers that I'll share with the folks who couldn't come this year. I bought mostly contemps, a few vintage machines mades, but I won't do pics in my hotel room again. They would be dark. I'll post pics of the pretty contemps after i get home. the show pics are in sunlight so they won't be dark. On the right is Andy Davis. Some of you will recognize his tops on the table. Brett Young, half of the team of Hot House Glass. i bought several of their marbles. Christmas Ornaments by Hot House Glass. I bought a couple of these for my son's family. Dan Grumbling - maker of wonderful flower marbles. I added another one to my collection. Danny Grocki - If you've been to the marble festival, Danny is always set up on the same corner.
