OVEC still has a limited number of the beautiful hand blown West Virginia glass Christmas ornaments made by Pilgrim Glass (now a collector’s item since Pilgrim ceased operation a few years ago) and designed by master glass artisan, Kelsey Murphy.

	Bloodroot

Etched on these ornaments is Bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis, a West Virginia wildflower.

Habitat for this species is destroyed by mountaintop removal as it generally grows on little-disturbed hills and mountains. The flower bud, on a separate stalk but completely enclosed by the developing leaf, pushes upward through the leaves as one of the first plants of spring.

OVEC is offering this ornament FREE with a membership (or membership renewal) of $60 or more. If you already own this lovely ornament, remember the winter holidays will be here before you know it! And if you’ve already renewed your membership, maybe you would like to give an OVEC membership to a friend and keep the ornament yourself!

Wood Thrush and Jack-in-the-Pulpit

We also have a limited number of Wood Thrush and Jack-in-the-Pulpit ornaments, designed by Ms. Murphy and manufactured at Glassworks (also now closed). Just let us know which ornament you would like to receive.

To order: Call Maryanne at (304) 522-0246 or e-mail her at mago@ezwv.com. In the subject line of the e-mail write "Special Membership Offer."
