More about our Favorite Pewter, Tin Woodsman!

Crosby & Taylor Pewter Measuring Spoons and measuring cups are a beautiful addition to any kitchen, contemporary or traditional. See all the choices here and explore the varied designs created by Deborah Chapman and her husband, Jim.
Crosby and Taylor used to be known as The Tin WoodsmanPewter Company. The name was changed in 2009 to reflect the ever-growing array of beautiful kitchen, bath and home accessories in ceramic as well as their well-known pewter work. At G Squared Gallery, we carry the full line of pewter measuring cups and spoons as well as the various display stands and racks.
For everyday cooks these quality measuring utensils will withstand the rigors of daily use. While they are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing, as the dishwasher will darken the pewter. This patina has no effect on food preparation, but the shine is one of the beautiful aspects of the utensils – hence the recommendation to hand wash.
Paula Deen, from the television show “Cooking with Paula Deen” uses the Crosby & Taylor (formerly known as Tin Woodsman) measuring spoons and cups on her show and raves about their beauty and functionality. Like Paula Deen, you can make your everyday kitchen activities more enjoyable by using these great pieces.
These cups and spoons look good and feel great in your hands. They are accurate and meant to be used. Remember, they are dishwasher safe, but it’s pretty easy to hand wash these pieces. That way they’ll keep their beautiful finish and always be a joy to behold. You could put them in the drawer after you’ve cleaned them, but why? The Crosby & Taylor measuring spoons and cups are so beautiful why not display them in one of several ways designed by Deb Chapman? She has designed cherry wood wall mount racks, cherry wood posts, pewter stands and pewter wall mount racks. There is also a pewter superpost that holds both the spoons and the racks on one convenient display. The superpost is designed to fit under most standard kitchen cabinets.
At G Squared Gallery, we offer you all of these options as well as the choice to buy the spoons or cups without any display stand. This is unique in that nearly all of the stores selling on the web don’t give you the option to buy the spoons or cups separately.
You can see all the different designs by clicking on their pictures on the G Squared Gallery website. The different designs are Bird, Celtic, Fleur de Lys, Vineyard, Fish, Bamboo, Dragonfly, Moose and Hearts. The moose and heart styles are special orders. Please allow 3 weeks for delivery. Each design is available in the measuring cups or spoons.

Yes, these utensils are very spendy, but remember that you'll have them your entire life. They are also guaranteed forever and if you have any kind of a problem with them, Crosby & Taylor will fix them for a nominal cost. You can even send them back for a "spa" treatment! They'll come back looking as gorgeous as they did on the day you bought them. This is a G Squared Gallery endorsement and we've been selling these great kitchen tools for way longer than Paula Deen has been famous! If you are a cook, you won't be sorry you spent a few extra bucks on something that will outlast any imitations. Remember these are made in America, by Americans, not offshore in Asia somewhere. We know the Chapmans and can vouch for their skill and artistry. Please email us anytime with questions if you have them. Our email is in the right hand column.

One of the most noticed and admired gifts. The wagging tale dog clock by Pink Cloud Gallery. These clocks are awesome. The little tail wags bringing fun life to your room. I have mine in the kitchen.
No moving eyes to freak you out! Check them out at G Squared Gallery. They have every breed, (as long as they have tails), including some cats. Super cute. Thanks Pink Cloud!

Town I Love

So I just visited this cute little town in Ligonier, Pa. I found a gallery there called G Squared Gallery. It's an American Craft Gallery. They had THE BEST jewelry. One of my favorite finds and purchases was this fantastic bracelet by Sergio Gutierrez. He is a really cool artist who created these unique but super simple bracelets made out of what he calls liquid metal. I think he is from Miami.
They are light, have an easy snap closure and are so freaking cute! I want one of each style but he does dozens of designs. Different patterns, widths, a few different closures. I just love these. Check them out for yourself! G Squared Gallery
This is the one I bought. Only $70! Love the Sergio Gutierrez!
Plus check out the super cute town of Ligonier. It's like an hour south east of Pittsburgh. It's a great day trip!
