Bunco and Longaberger
How many of you are in Bunco Groups? I belong to 2 groups and I usually give out Longaberger Prizes! I watch for the Online Specials and great buys at the Factory Store and that way I can give AWESOME PRIZES for all the gifts. This week, Bunco2 is at my house and for 1/2 a second, I thought about not giving Longaberger as the prizes. Lately some have been giving cash and while that’s nice, it’s not Longaberger!!! Will my bunco friends be disappointed if they get gift certificates to Target and not a Longaberger Prize from me? Most likely. It’s great being a Longaberger Consultant and having your own “Gift Closet” to shop from…and I know my bunco friends will be happy too!
Isn't this so cute? My friend Kathy had it made at the bakery
My Bunco Buddies Love Longaberger!
20 Years of Longaberger Pottery
Longaberger is bringing so many new products to our line this spring and summer that some of our old favorites have to go. The Large Pitcher first came on the scene in 1990 produced by the Friendship Pottery Company, in Roseville, Ohio. 1992 began with Hall Pottery and Sterling Pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio. Solid Color Pottery was introduced in 2002 and Pfaltzgraff became our our main supplier. During 2005 Longaberger began it’s partnership with several top quality pottery companies around the world. New patterns have joined the solids and we have become the most sought after Pottery in the market today. Between the old and new, Longaberger exclusive pottery is the NUMBER 1 Casual Dinnerware in the country today. Stay tuned for what is coming next!
RETIREMENTS AS OF FEBRUARY 28TH. Got to have it? Contact your Longaberger Consultant for more details.
- 2 Qt Pitcher
- Muffin Pan

- 2 Qt Baking Dish
Shown in Ebony, the 2 Qt Pitcher has been redesigned with a wide pour spout for a more modern look.
2 Qt Baking Dish is similar in shape to the 9" x 13" baking dish but smaller. You can also purchase a woven dish cover to fit over the dish and into the fridge it goes.
Traditonal Red Pottery Says Goodbye February 28th
The life of a Longaberger piece of pottery and the stories it could tell! Introduced in 1992, the red had it’s problems when it first came out. Red is a difficult color to work with in the pottery world. Longaberger spent many months getting it just right and customers patiently waited for delivery. Shortly after becoming a consultant in 1994, imagine my surprise when JD contacted me to say that she wanted to sell her TR pottery pieces and would I know of anyone who would be interested? She explained that she loved the pottery and her family of 5 had used it for about 3 years, but it was such good stuff that she had yet to chip or break a piece of it. You see, she was one that like to change things up with her dinnerware…getting a new pattern every few years and she didn’t see the Longaberger dishes “wearing out” anytime soon. LOL!
I was happy to fill the need and bought all of her placesettings, a pie plate, mixing bowl and pitcher for my family of 5. She was happy it was going to a good home and I was happy to “take it off her hands”! Our family used the dishes daily until the TOMATO RED came out! Now Connie is the lucky one to be using the TR pottery in her home and we’re enjoying the Tomato Red in ours.
I wonder if JD knows how many beautiful colors of pottery we have now? Round and Square, flare and rectangle…we have so many options. Plus Seasonal! All the same great quality that you expect from Longaberger. Check out a WishList for all of the great colors and serving pieces at www.longaberger.com/cindygoff
This is our signature pattern introduced in 1990 in Classic Blue. Then came WT Red and Heritage Green in 1992.

Spencer’s Alley Now Aunt Bee’s House
As of January 1st Spencer’s Alley is under new ownership and has a new name. I think it’s a sign of good things to come since Belinda has renamed the store Aunt Bee’s House. Isn’t that cute? Longaberger consultants have this thing for bees since our National Sales Convention is affectionately called The BEE…so I loved the name immediately. Stop by our Booth at Aunt Bee’s and see what we have. Several retired Longaberger products all at reduced prices. Collectibles, seasonal items and just plain good stuff. Check out B16…and go home with a treasure. Call for hours. 503.585.9749
It's bright and cheery and packed full!
We're ready for Valentine's Day!
Check out all of the Sale items!
Love RED...we got you covered!
Longaberger Builds Friendships Across the Miles
So excited to meet up with Marcia at the Leadership Meeting. Our first meeting as new Branch Leaders several years ago has continued with a long distance friendship ever since. I hope she will come to my blog and say hello.
Love to connect with old friends in Ohio!
Sleepless in Ohio
A quick note to say the Longaberger Leadership Meeting rocked and I’ll be posting lots of pictures and news in the next few days. Left at 0 dark thirty for the airport on Thursday morning. Decided to spare my husband and road The Hut Shuttle up to the airport. Met up with Betsy, my roomie in Denver and arrived to SNOW and LOTS of it in Columbus. Little sleep, lots of laughs and just one big party! Flight for home left at 8 AM so it’s been another long day. I”m ready to sleep in my own bed tonight. 
) More later.
Another Collection Inspired by Longaberger
I discovered this Ohio Tin Souvenir Plate while out junking a few years ago. At first I bought it thinking I would add it to my office as a tribute to Longaberger and Ohio. Then it got me started on a whole new collection of Tin Plates or License Plates of places we have lived. And from that began my quest to change our newly gained family room (formerly the office/dining room) into a Grand Central Station/Travel room. I’m still searching for a few more plates, but this 1st one is really special. Now if I could just find South Dakota and Michigan, I’d be almost there!
OHIO Souviner Plate - my first find.
Leaving on a Jet Plane
I love this building...can you imagine going to work in the Big Basket every day?!
I’m leaving in a few days for Ohio and the Leadership Meeting. Every January, Longaberger Leaders meet in Columbus for 3 days of training, networking and new product preview. I love to go and it’s just the best thing to be surrounded by others who love what they do and who share a common love for Longaberger. While it’s a grueling 3 days (considering the time change and little sleep), I always come back rejuvenated and full of news and excitement to share with my team and customers. This year I’m loaded up with a new Blackberry Storm, Facebook and this blog to spread the latest news from Basket Land. I’ll be in touch!
May the Merriment Begin!
Our Branch and Friends Christmas Party is always fun! This year we went to a fairly new restaurant called Word of Mouth Bistro on 17th and State Street. It’s in an old craftsman style house and the ambiance (especially at night) is so cool. Great food, great company and a great time! Thanks everyone!
Guess Who?!!
