We have made Progress!

This is just a quick little posting that should have been made last year... but of course our Blog not exist untill this year so here it is...

The above article was in the October 2007 issue of "Progress" highlightning another local Fredericton company, Remsoft. Of course we send our congratulations to Remsoft for there great work.

If you look real close you will see that just behind the couch there is a small frame with a pewter Inukshuk displayed in it... that happens to be one of our pieces. There is a good chance this piece was assembled by our staff in our Queen Street location as either a gift or award.

Our framed Inukahuk (and many of our other Inukshuk themed products) have been used by many as awards, gifts or even keepsakes to be given away.

"The Inukshuk (IN-OOK-SHOOK) meaning 'in the image of man' were erected by the Inuit people and are unique to the Canadian Arctic.They endure as eternal symbols of leadership, the importance of friendship and reminding us of our dependence upon one another.These were built to point the safer way for those who followed. The Inukshuk guided people across the frozen land and gave them the strength to handle hardships they encountered."

If you or your companie is thinking a framed Inukshuk would be a great gift please feel free to call us (the framed crest is not avaiable online) at (800) 567-4416 and you can place your order.

A little touch of the Irish....

It is almost that time again... a time to break out the green tie, those green pants and see if you can dig up a 4 leaf clover... under all that snow?

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and in some circles it is one of the best times of the year to enjoy friends, family and a pint of green ale.

Our Aitkens Pewter line of Celtic products seems to always be a very popular motif with visitors to the Maritimes. This year we are very excited to expand that collection (hint - next month we have 3 new Celtic products to unveil) with our first Celtic Christmas ornament (available March 1st, 2008)...





“A Celtic Christmas”, a time for gathering, a time for sharing, and a time for reflection.
This very unique ornament was designed in-house and reflects the true Celtic knot; a continuous knot with out a beginning or end.


This particular ornament is in the shape of a star with a transparent green enamel center. The green for its Irish roots and the star shape to symbolize our hopes, dreams, aspirations and the sharing of our light with each other.


You may think... a Christmas Ornament... March???? Think of this as a sun catcher in the summer and an ornament in the winter... add a suction cup hanger and put it in a window and watch the green light dance around the room.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!!!
