The two paintings by Emily are also there, but I'm not sure whether they are on display. Yesterday we went out for a family dinner and I wore the pendant - in celebration of sharing Joshua's story.Ann Swinfenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168095839845563846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-34603221716767031462015-09-20T18:11:47.757+01:002015-09-20T18:11:47.757+01:00Fantastic post.

Stourbridge is not far from where I live, and I see there is a museum of glass there which I now want to visit. You are so lucky to have been given the pendant.<br /><br />And Arden Hoose! It looks familiar - and yet wasn't that a radio series? (Maybe it was on TV later and I've forgotten...)<br /><br />None of us ever think of asking questions of our relatives until it's too late.Ann Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484265041343702129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-73344606516088052082015-09-20T16:11:58.357+01:002015-09-20T16:11:58.357+01:00This is so awesome!

The picture of my pendant hasn't come out very well, but if you hold it up to the light it absolutely glows. The jug I own is lovely, with its delicate engravings of birds and flowers, but being clear glass it doesn't photograph well. Perhaps one of these days, if I'm very rich (!), I'll buy one of his coloured pieces. I'm glad you've all enjoyed Joshua's story. If I ever discover more about the mysterious artist Emily, I'll post about that.Ann Swinfenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168095839845563846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-78116136370407239872015-09-20T10:15:21.885+01:002015-09-20T10:15:21.885+01:00A wonderful story and indeed what a talent.
