The Green Opalescent Iridized mouse has sold out.  We are substituting Ruby Slag Iridized ($33) or Orange Slice Satin ($25). Primary Members who are current on their 2021 dues may order their choice of two of the mice, per household. All colors are quite limited.

This eye-catching example of Trudy's intricate hand-painted design of butterflies, flowers, a heart and scrolls would be an awesome addition to your collection.   Nobody does whimsey and Halloween better than Kim Barley, and this Mosser Caramel Ghost is no exception. A bat, a hat, a cat, and several jack-o-lanterns adorn this ghost. Check out the spider in the web sharing a piece of candy corn. It just 'screams' Halloween! On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have this beautiful Fenton Mulberry vase which has been sand-carved then adorned with a gorgeous floral design, highlighted with gold, created by Frances Burton. The photo doesn't do it justice! Sadly, we won't be seeing any more Mulberry glass since Fenton is no longer producing these lovely fade-up glass treatments. Take a chance, buy a chance, you could by chance be the lucky winner! On your Registration Form please indicate how many tickets you would like to purchase for each item. You may divide the tickets any way you like. Jay will fill out your raffle tickets at the NFGS office. The drawing will be held on Monday evening after the banquet. You need not be present to win. If the winner is not in attendance, he/she will be notified and the raffle item will be shipped after the Convention, postage paid. zzzzz zzzzz
