FENTON FLYER FOTOS ~
November-December '09
This page is designed to complement The Fenton Flyer. The Fenton Flyer is printed in black and white, with color highlights on several pages, but without full color photos. We hope the members of the NFGS enjoy viewing the photos in color, and the visitors to the NFGS website enjoy them and are curious to learn more about the articles they represent. To learn more about the NFGS or to join, please visit the Membership page by clicking on the title in the panel on the left or on the bottom of this page.

AWESOME NEW GLASS
To celebrate the 20th year of the founding of the NFGS we present our Premium membership mice. First is "Posie" mouse, and to the right is "Balloon" mouse. Posie is limited to one per household. Both are Burmese even though the photography doesn't reflect that. To insure getting your mouse of choice, please send in your 2010 dues.

Aubergine One-Piece Fairy Lights
Clockwise from top right: Mountain Stream, Snowman and a close-up of the Snowman fairy light. A mountain scene encircles the chimney while a stream cascades down into the rocky river base. It will be so peaceful with a flickering votive candle. Frosty the Snowman is all set to decorate the tree for the holidays. If you collect snowmen or have the snowman from the recent QVC show, this is a perfect complement. A wreath of decorated boughs encircles the base. The votive candle will really light this one up.

With Sincerest Sympathy
Fran Ehrsam, tireless NFGS volunteer and club Historian, passed away on Sept. 3rd, at the age of 79. Many of you probably remember her from her years of service in the hospitality room. Fran was also one of the founders of the Fenton Dollers Club. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
We extend our sincere sympathy to her husband Bill, their family, and all her friends.
