My favorites for the holidays!

I am often asked which Tin Woodsman Pewter products are my favorites? Since I am fortunate to be able to take home as many pieces as I want, it is sometimes hard to decide what to put out each December when we start to decorate. But, year after year, my #1 favorite is the reindeer candle holder.

There is just something about his innocent little face and his wonderful legs that I love!

As for Jim, he would say it's the miniature nativity scene. This set holds special significance to him because he slowly and meticulously carved each original piece out of wood. He put these carvings into a mold and this is what we cast from. Originally, we put the wooden set out. But now these wooden pieces are kept in a safe and we treasure the pewter pieces. After all, we are pewtersmiths and no longer woodworkers!

At a recent tradeshow, I learned that some people call our miniature set, a "traveling nativity". They take it with them on business trips - or when going out of town for the holidays. It is small and unbreakable. The entire set would fit in your out-stretched hand.
