We’ll it ship the next day and if you order early enough we can get it out the same day, we ship FedEx ground, they are quick and very few damaged items. We pack it carefully so it won’t be damaged, most items are gift boxed and we include a nylon strap as a hanger for you. We carry table and wall hangers and chain. Don’t be fooled or misled, we do things fairly and honestly here at Our American Heritage and we would like your business not only today but tomorrow also.

Glass Cowboy Hats by glass artist Dianne Rasmussen
We spent last Sunday at the Rosen trade show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The show features American hand made crafts with many glass artists. We were taken by the unique colors and styles of Dianne Rasmussen’s work. We have one of her glass cowboy hats coming plus she had beautiful wine glasses in four styles and four colors which we ordered. I don’t have a good picture of the glasses but I’ll post a picture after we receive them. If you like the Cowboy hat an artist friend of Dianne’s makes a stand with a horseshoe base..Neat !
Luke Adams Glass Pumpkins
We also ordered some glass pumpkins in eight different colors from glass artist Luke Adams.

Hand Blown Weiner Dog
Here’s another neat item from the Rosen show in Philadelphia by glass artist Cathrine Labonte`.
Weiner Dogs !
The Weiner Dogs are all hand blown glass, avaailable in 12 colors, 4 of which are transparent similar to the dog in the picture, (see our page via the link below for all the colors). Cathrine also does Cats, Mice and a Bull Dog looking dog among other neat glass items. Because of the wide variety of colors we’re going to get a sample but it will take four to six weeks to receive a custom color, so think ahead, like two months. If you want to give a gift that no one else will come close to in cool, this is a real consideration.
