Thank you to all of you who shared those special names for your Mothers and Grandmothers. It was wonderful to read your touching stories. The winners of the Free Measuring Cups will be announced once the Collection is finished. (Until then, I won't know how many of the names I will be able to incorporate into the pattern.) Although I started this Collection last month, I have been waiting for YOUR input to finish them off. It should be fun! And the plan is to have them done in time for Mother's Day - of course!
Speaking of mothers - and daughters - I would like to introduce you to Evelyn, the newest little member of our Crosby & Taylor family, who will be 3 months old on Monday. Since Evelyn is a good little sleeper, Nancy (our manger of 10 years) is able to accomplish a lot during nap time. Evelyn's big brother came to work with Nancy for nearly 3 years. We still get to see him several times a week when he and his Dad come to pick up Evelyn. A happy family!

Share Your Feedback About Our New Jewelry Collection for a Free Pewter Necklace With Purchase!
As I mentioned last week, we are giving away a free "Alice" Necklace ($17.50 value) with the purchase of one of our pieces from our new Jewelry Collection when you leave your feedback and use our coupon code: "freealice" upon checkout. This offer is good through March 5th.
In case you are wondering why it's an "Alice" necklace, I just decided to give girls' names to all of our pieces. A number of years ago, we named our Tooth Fairy kits "Rosella" (after our youngest daughter), "Priscilla" (after my grandmother) and "Lily" (after our sweet neighbor girl). This time around, I can't say that the pendants are named after specific girls. But I did have a lot of fun going through lists of Baby Names!
We have already received some great feedback on our Crosby & Taylor Facebook Page and in the comments section of our blog- here are just a couple!
So very cute! I like the chains used on them!
I absolutely adore C&T products and the new jewelry line is no exception...my only suggestion would be to offer longer chain lengths. I love longer necklaces (like 24+ inches) so I was hoping to see that as an option. Keep up the great work!!
I too would like to see longer chains offered. I love the heart clasps. My favorite necklace is Ava but I wish the circle at the top was a little bit smaller, kind of takes away from the beautiful heart. Since I don't wear large jewelry, I wouldn't mind seeing more smaller pieces like the petite necklace. Have you thought of making key chains too? Or a charm to clip on to a purse? I would totally buy something like that. Love your pewter!
Thanks everyone for your feedback! Great ideas! We are listening to your suggestions and will be taking them into consideration as we move forward with our new designs and products!

Working Hands
The other day I was up in Portland (a couple hours north of Eugene) and was invited to a luncheon, hosted by my daughter's boyfriend's grandmother. (That's a mouthful!) I had spent the night before just hanging out with a friend and her son, who was having some medical treatments. I was completely under-dressed for this luncheon. If it's ever happened to you, you know how it feels!
Not only was I under-dressed, I was uncomfortably aware of how terrible my hands looked! The other 4 women had elegant hands with gorgeous, painted nails. I usually don't think about my hands. But in this setting, I was drawn to them. I found myself trying to keep them hidden under the table.
Jim gives me an anniversary ring each year. After 28 years, you can imagine that I have to wear them in rotation. My fingers are not long enough to proudly display 28 years of marriage. So, yes, I have beautiful rings.
But that is where the beautiful begins and ends. My hands are nicked and bruised. I never have nice nails. The tips get sanded off or worn off or drilled off. If you work with your hands, you know what I am talking about.
It seems so ironic that, to create lovely things, I have to de-lovely my hands. His mother told me that she loves her Fleur de Lys Measuring Spoons, which Rosella gave her for Christmas. She is just the sweetest person so I am going to trust that she will see past my pewter-worn hands!
Her sisters and mother seemed just as sweet. It was a lovely lunch and, looking back, I am going to bet that they saw past my hands, as well. :)

New Heart to Heart Spoons and Cups off to Paula Deen!
All of a sudden, I realized that we hadn't sent our new Heart to Heart Measuring Spoons and Cups to Paula! Oops! How will she be able to use them on her show if she doesn't even know about them?!
We always try to do something fun with the packaging when we send gifts to Paula.
This time, since it's just about Valentine's Day, I figured I would use those little Conversation Heart candies - you know? the ones with the fun words on them - like "cute boy", "call me" and such. We hope that Paula will fall in love with these - as much as she has with our other designs. Then, one day, you will be watching Paula's Home Cooking - and you will exclaim - OH my gosh! There's Paula with her new Heart to Hearts!
If you aren't Paula, you can find these new Spoons and Cups on our website, of course. You can also get a free gift or two if you order them by Valentine's Day.
Use this coupon code: H2H2011 to get a Free packet of Raspberry Flavored Sugar ($3.50 value) with any $25 order or
Use this coupon code: H2HSALT to get a Free Heart Salt Cellar ($19 value) with a $100 order
