September 2010 Raffle Winner

Debbie Brewitt of Stratham, NH is our September winner. She’ll get to wear a pair of our Trowel Earrings while turning over her garden beds this Fall!

Each month, we select a winner of a Gibson Pewter product. The tides may grow and the leaves may blow, but the contented faces of our Moon Earrings maintain their equilibrium (see photo in right sidebar). Our next raffle winner will receive a pair just as the new moon begins to emerge.

Anyone who registers in the left-hand corner box on the website receives periodic updates about our products and promotions, and those names are among those we select from each month.

If the sale of several prototypes of my new, small (6 oz.) syrup/cream pitcher are any indication, I’d say this is going to be a popular item. A perfect gift for any occasion! Look for a companion sugar bowl sometime this winter.
