We are up and running!!

The story has begun.  It actually began years and years ago when a large group of us - all twenty-something friends who couldn't afford to go home for both Thanksgiving and Christmas - were spending Thanksgiving together.  We laughed and laughed at the ridiculous sound that the jellied cranberry sauce made when coming out of the can.  (Remember, we were twenty-somethings and had probably had a few beers).  Anyway, we just didn't know how to serve the cranberry sauce.  I distinctly remember posing for a picture with one friend who had made a delicious homemade cranberry sauce - her beautiful creation sitting nicely in a serving dish and my cranberry sauce sitting lonely in a round bowl.  

It was after that Thanksgiving that I started thinking there should be something nice made with which to serve this can of cranberry goodness. I talked about it with my husband and he agreed.  I looked online and couldn't find anything.  I was surprised no one had thought of this before.  At one point, we came up with the name for it - the Cranberry Saucer!  I did some half-hearted research to find out how to make dishware.  But, at that time in my life, it was just a bit much and I had a lot going on.  So the idea was put on hold.

Fast forward about 20 years and two kids later.  With kids approaching college years, I thought to myself that maybe we should consider giving this a go.  More google searches and I see that still no one had come up with something similar.  So after months of research and planning and organizing and trademark/patent lawyer discussions, our shipment of Cranberry Saucers finally arrived on our doorstep!  And they are ready to ship to you!

It was with both a little nervousness and excitement that I hit that Wix.com "Publish" button.  I'm excited to see where this venture takes us. If you've ever felt like I did when serving jellied cranberry sauce, this is the place for you.  (Oh - and also - these dishes hold homemade cranberry sauce just as nicely!)
