More New Product

How about some more sneak peeks from bee 2009?

This is the foyer wall unit, it features three hooks, and two shelves, it is designed for the Medium Rectangle Sort and Store, Some assembly required. 

This is the Wrought Iron Foyer Bench with WoodCrafts Top

This is reminiscent of a slightly shorter coffee table, which is what we will be using it for in my home, as we have a very small foyer. The bottom shelf can hold 2 Small rectangle storage baskets, the medium rectangle storage basket, or the Large rectangle storage basket, assembly required, but the instruction sheets are great. 

Longaberger To-Go Braided Leather Hobo

(I want one!)

This is part of the "to-go" line, which means that it features black maple upsplints and nylon webbing weaves. this has a supple leather upper with a snapped tab closure

To go Braided Leather Satchel

A little bit bigger than the hobo, it also features black maple splints with nylon webbing weaves for durability the hardware is made from matte nickel. It zips closed and features both an interior pocket and a cell phone pocket.

Hostess Chestnut Carry All Basket

This basket holds laptops and files in style the base is slightly flared and has supple leather straps and brushed nickel hard ware it has a sturdy inside board bottom, outside reinforcement and metal feet (which is certainly more sturdy than my current laptop case which is just a longaberger fabric quilted purse)

2009 Holiday Hostess Large Snowflake Cookie Basket, in Red

Hostess exclusive The knob is laser engraved. 

JW Longaberger inspired Fancy Pie, for anyone familiar with the American Home Pottery, you'll recognize the traditional JW braided trim, which JW Longaberger used on many of his baskets. He called these his "fancy baskets" and now you can have one for your collection!

News from the Bee

I have some of the new products for you! The Bee is Longaberger's big national convention where all the home consultant's are invited up to see new products and show ideas and big sales and hear news about the company. Awards are given out for sales and other recognitions, and folks always pass on info and pictures that they have taken while up there. I unfortunatly am unable to go this year, due to some sticky finances (remember, I'm still putting myself through college :) thankfully Longaberger helps me have some extra income)

This is the soup and sandwich plate which can be used for dips and chips/veggies, as well as that it interacts with the small crock, bowls, or just for kids who dislike their food to touch!

These are listed as $35 in the new wishlist.
