Longaberger's New Letter Blocks Are a Versatile Gift

The whitewashed Letter Blocks introduced by Longaberger in April have been so popular that a new red heart, the numbers 0 through 9, and the @ and # have been added, still at the great price of $8 each.  Make a fun gift of these to some soon-to-weds or those who are celebrating time together already.  Use them for your child's room or your business.

At the 2015 Bee (Longaberger convention), my friend Jackie shared  her family name wall display, created out of Longaberger Letter Blocks in the crisscrossing style of Scrabble, which began with their last name in the middle and first names crossing and connecting to it.  Jackie is excited to add a little grandbaby's name to the display this December.

                                                   

I  wasn't so creative and just added my Letter Blocks to some nautical items on my mantle, but I was pleased with how the whitewashed background let the grain come through slightly on the blocks.  The gray lettering will be beautiful with the new Pewter stain and pottery.

The Cornflower blue Large and Small Pail Baskets with the white rope trim were offered in 2009.  

Another nautical-inspired basket I located, pictured to the left and below, is the 2006 Collectors Club Lightship Basket woven in the tradition of Nantucket Island.  It features a scrimshaw-like knob and brass tacks, among other special traits.
