Gibson Pewter Shop News - August 2009

Events & Announcements

The Queen Anne Tea Service is on exhibit in the "Living With Crafts" exhibit at the annual League of NH Craftsmen Fair in Sunapee, NH until August 9 in the Living With Crafts Exhibit.

I'm so proud of my wife, Camille (also a league member). She won the "Creative Sewing Award" for her Gold Fish Soft Sculpture!

See it on her website at www.camillegibson.com or "live" in the Craftwear Exhibit also through the last day of the Fair, August 9.

Behind the scenes we've been busy in preparation for the Living History Event to be held right here in Historic Hillsborough the weekend of August 21-23. Camille & I will be dressed in 19th century garb casting 19th century wares!

It's a busy season here in our beautiful, rural corner of New Hampshire. I hope you'll consider visiting us for the Living History Event, or perhaps September 19 & 20 for the 6th Annual Hillsborough Area Artisans Fall Studio Tour.

Last but not least, I was pleased to be named one of America's top 200 traditional craftsmen for the 16th straight year by Early American Life Magazine. Notice of the recognition is in their August issue on news stands now.

Monthly Raffle Winner

Congratulations to Jaki Dodd, our July winner of Dragonfly Earrings. Your flowers may be pelted and flattened by rain drops now, but they'll bounce back!.

Each month, we select a winner of our monthly gift of a pair of Gibson Pewter Earrings. For August, we'll be awarding a pair of our sensuous Grape Earrings. Warm, dry weather should bring them out in droves as soon our monsoon season is past.

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

Summer and the Living is Easy

What better way to engage with the beauty of summer than to clip a splendid blossom or two? Add a bit of outdoor beauty to the room you spent the most time in. It will inspire you to get outside as soon as possible, but also cheer you while you take care of business!

Our Fluted Bud Vase stands 7" tall and has a beaded edge on the foot. It's a simple, yet elegant design and a wonderful gift item.
