Carol brings us Good Luck!

Look at this amazing dragonfly that Carol found!



Ok, ok, she didn't actually find it next to our new Dragonfly Salt Cellar. (It was outside her home in the country.)

Since dragonflies are one of our best-selling motifs, we were all pretty excited when Carol found a real, live dragonfly! You may have seen one, darting around. But have you ever actually held one?! Many people say that dragonflies bring Good Luck. It seems that this just might be true. Soon after Carol found this special bug, she closed the deal on our biggest order of the year. Go, Carol!

She is one heck of a sales manager. If you would like a custom product made for you, your family, your company, or - whomever?! - Carol is your go-to person. There are a lot of details when you order something designed and made just for you. But Carol can simplify the process - and find a way to make it affordable!  If you shoot her an e-mail, you'll see what I mean!

Another Great Show!

Nancy and Malina have returned from Americasmart in Atlanta. There was little - if any - talk about the economy. Buyers were upbeat, enthusiastic, and eager to place orders. Malina and Nancy were both so touched by how kind everyone was in Atlanta.

Best-sellers at the show were:

-our new Salt Cellars

-Fleur de Lys Measuring Spoons and Cups

-Dragonfly Measuring Spoons and Cups

-our new Saint Nick Santa's Key

Salt Cellars

Our Salt Cellars are now ready to ship! We're pretty much obsessed with them and hope you will be, too. What is there about tiny things that makes them so fun?! The spoons hold about a pinch of salt - just enough to dust the top of your dinner.

Baking Christmas cookies in July

There I was in the last week of June..rolling out cookie dough and cutting it up into trees and stars and other Christmas shapes. My friends (who are not in business) are always surprised when they hear me talking about Christmas in July. But that's how far ahead you have to plan if you want to have new products available for stores to sell at Christmas. And, if you want to have Christmas cookies at your photo shoot in June, you've got to make them yourself! The photo shoot had an added element of fun when Nancy, our office manager, brought her son, Oliver to the photo studio. I had wanted to ask her to dress him up like an elf but I wasn't sure she had time to pull that together. 

These great holiday pieces are available on our website now with special Christmas in July prices!
