The Carder Steuben Club

Hello all,

We are updating our web page. It should be up soon. We have a link to the Carder Steuben Club, http://www.cardersteubenclub.com/

Frederick Carder was the designer and manager for Steuben from 1902 until 1932.
The Carder Steuben Club is a wealth of information on Frederick Carder and his glass. Frederick Carder was a genius in design.

Membership is $35 per year and well worth it. There is a Symposium once a year the third week in September in Corning New York. It is co-hosted by the Corning Museum of Glass. There will be a link to them also.

Enjoy your day!

Hey I'm back and it hasn't even been a year! Just kidding. I forgot to mention that we are no longer traveling to work at antique shows in California. Items can be shipped to us at anytime. We do miss our customers and friends. Hello and love to all! Gosh, I am making the blog sound too girly...

Has it really been over a year since I blogged

Yes, it has. I guess you could say I am here for our yearly plus check in. We are still repairing glass. Even with the state of the economy people still have glass to repair and restore. A recent repair we received is a large Lalique vase. It is chipped on the base. The base will be re-cut and then re-frosted to match the original Lalique frost. It will look great when it is finished.

We are in the process of updating our web page. The present web page was done in 1994. Time for a change. We hope everyone will like it as much as the old one. From what we have seen so far we do!

Happy Spring to all. Our prayers are with the people of Moore Oklahoma. And to all our veterans who gave
their all. Thank you! This Memorial Day the Emmett Idaho Cemetery placed U.S. flags along the driveways and placed flags on the veterans graves. It was a very moving sight as the wind picked up and flags unfurled.

See you next time and I hope it won't be a another year.
