Crosby & Taylor Measuring Spoons Giveaway (Recipe: Nutella Crepes)

Jump to Recipe -

 

This giveaway is now closed. The Random Number Generator chose Carolyn,  from All Day I Dream About Food. Congrats Carolyn! If you weren’t as lucky as Carolyn, don’t worry. My good friend Deb from SmithBites is giving away a set of Crosby & Taylor Measuring Spoons too! Hustle over to her blog… her giveaway ends on Wednesday, December 22nd!

I love beautiful things… and as my husband will proclaim, I can go into any store and manage to fall in love with the most expensive thing in it. It’s a special gift I have…like a super power of sorts.

Being surrounded by beautiful things just makes me happier, doesn’t it you? The other day I was in my kitchen making crepes for the first time and frankly, I wasn’t having a lot of success. The first several crepes ended up in the garbage disposal. But, you know what? I didn’t let it get me down. I had beautiful music playing on my Kitchen iHome, I was surrounded by my beautiful family, and every time I glanced to my right, I got a peek at this beautiful pewter measuring spoon set from Crosby & Taylor.

 

I was introduced to the lovely people at Crosby & Taylor when they contacted me about doing a giveaway for a set of their measuring spoons. As I read their story and browsed their product line, I was immediately drawn in…how could I not be? Everything on their site is beautiful. And as I’ve discovered over the past couple of weeks… the team behind Crosby & Taylor are just as beautiful as their products. They are truly the kind of people you want to know and be associated with.

 

Thanks to Crosby & Taylor, I have a Vineyard Pewter Measuring Spoons and a Pewter Stand to give away to one lucky Dine & Dish reader. This is sure to be an heirloom you’ll pass down through the generations. To enter, all you have to do is:

  • Leave one comment on this post telling me what your most treasured heirloom is that you’ve received.

For multiple entries, you can:

  • Become a fan of Crosby & Taylor on Facebook. Come back to this blog post and leave an additional comment letting me know that you did that.
  • Crosby & Taylor products would make a beautiful, unique gift for anyone on your list. Hint to hubby… I’d love to have the matching vineyard measuring cups! Head over to the Crosby & Taylor website and tell me what product you’d most like to find under your tree.

The giveaway will end at midnight CST on Tuesday, December 14th and it is my goal to get the winner their gorgeous set before the Christmas holiday.

Now, on to those Nutella Crepes. Delicious, yummy, delectable Nutella Crepes from one of my favorite chefs, Jeffrey Saad. Jeffrey made this for the Bush’s Beans team when we were all in Napa this fall and it was *gasp* the first time I had ever tried Nutella. I was an instant fan. Follow the directions on the recipe and if you haven’t made crepes before, take it from me. It is going to take a few crepes down the drain before you get the hang of it, but after that, you’ll be an old pro in no time!

 

I was given a set of Pewter Measuring Spoons from Crosby & Taylor as well as a set to giveaway to you all. The opinions about their product stated in this post, however, are my own

    Functional and beautiful!

    My most treasured heirlooms are the old Christmas ornaments that have been handed down from both sides of our family and now share the same tree. They’re a little worn and tired but I like them and think about the family members who may have hung them in years past.

  3. Anne Coleman says

    Those are stunning spoons! I would have to say, of all that I’ve received, my great-grandmother’s earthenware bowls, the very ones she used to make cookie dough in when I was very young, are my most precious. I wouldn’t be without them and still make her signature cookies in them!

  6. Amanda says

    My most treasured heirloom is the Amber necklace my Grandfather gave my Grandmother just after they were married. It was bought in Denmark as it is tradition to give amber. She passed it on to me and my Son will pass it on to his wife when he marries.

  7. Judy says

    I did become a fan of Crosby & Taylor, who wouldn’t? How beautiful are the measuring spoons, and also, what a great recipe, my daughter will love these, she is a huge nutella fan!

  8. Amber says

    Oh man, I love nutella crepes! My most treasured family heirloom is a tie between my grandmother’s favorite cookbook, and the ice cream scoop she’s had since 1955. She gave me both a few trips ago, and I *love* them.

  13. Sofya says

    I love the diamond ring whose 3/4-carat stone originally traveled from Poland to my former homeland of Azerbaijan with my great-grand-mother when she was a little girl (it was in the family). The diamond was later set into a new ring by my grandmother and given to my mom for her thirtieth birthday, who later gave it to me when I was 26 – the ring has traveled with me back to US. I now wear it with my wedding ring, which is also my mom’s, as a set. If you think of it, the stone was a witness to the Russian empire, the original oil boom in Azerbaijan, the fall of the empire and the beginning of the Soviet Union, WWII, the fall of the Soviet Union, and has later traversed an ocean to live on a new continent. It’s a real raw form of ancestor worship, a direct connection. I plan to eventually give it to my daughter.

  15. Cookbook Queen says

    I LOVE these!!

    I would say that my most treasure heirloom is…a painting that always hung in the living room as a kid. When I was a child, I was always told that it was a painting of my grandma and Tom Selleck fishing together….then I found out when I got older that it really wasn’t. It was just a cheap print of something my parents bought at a department store.

    I think that explains the way I am today.

  19. Kelli says

    Beautiful! My most prized heirloom is a curio that was hand carved by my husbands Grandfather from Czechoslovakia. It’s beautiful.

  21. Mrs. Jen B says

    Not sure if this qualifies as an heirloom, really, but my grandmother left me her Miraculous Medal, which she wore every day and never took off. My mom pinned it to the inside of my dress on my wedding day.

  22. Tracy says

    Long before she died, my grandmother was clearing out for a move, and gave me her old glass juicer. I have it on a shelf in my kitchen, use it often, and think of her every time I do.

  23. Aggie says

    Gorgeous spoons. I want them.

    The first thing that comes to mind is a rosary my grandmother brought me back from her hometown in Sicily. It’s fairly new still, about 5-6 years old, but I requested it on her last trip because I know it’s something I will want to have in my life forever.

  24. SMITH BITES says

    i have a couple heirlooms: one of the flys my dad tied for fly fishing before he died and on The Professor’s side, the Damn Turkeys. these measuring spoons are gorgeous!

  25. *Just Fran* says

    Several years ago, my mother was working to downsize her “stuff.” She gifted me with her set of Avon Ruby Cape Cod dishes. They are a complete service for 12. I has always admired the beautiful red of the dishes when I was a child (as she was collecting them), and now love how they add sparkle to my holiday tables.

  26. Tania says

    My fav heirloom? A German Cuckoo Clock that My Grandmother gave me. Need to get the birdie fixed.

    BTW – those spoons are precious!! A MUST have.

  27. Tracy says

    I can’t resist salt cellars, and the Crosby and Taylor dog treat jar (especially the large pistachio one) is also adorable.

  28. Jan says

    My most treasured heirloom is my grandfather and grandmother’s dining room table. There were many memories made gathered around that table at Sunday and holiday meals. I hope to carry on that traditions with my children and grandchildren, then pass the table on down to the next generation.

  39. Cathy Hodge Smith says

    I really do like the Crosby & Taylor line of pewter kitchen accessories. My favorite is their stoneware cannister collection, very classy. I have relatives that are passionate about Nutella. I like to include a token Christmas gift to them of Nutella and this year I will include your crepe recipe. As a new fan of your blog, I do appreciate your sponsorship of these contest opportunities.

  41. Robin Scott says

    My most treasured heirloom is a sterling silver rattle passed down through several generations. It has teeth marks from my great grandmother!

  44. Athienna Calixto says

    My most treasured item is a huge spaghetti bowl from my Grandmother. As a child I loved serving spaghetti in this bowl and tracing my fingers of the word spaghetti written in cursive with noodles on the inside. I rarely use the bowl now because of my small children put a nick on the rim but it is proudly displayed in my hutch.

  46. Missy says

    Unfortunately, my family was quite dysfunctional. My husband and I are creating traditions with our children that we hope to pass on. These would be a great way to start heirloom traditions with my children!

  47. Landi says

    These are beautiful! I have a beautiful antique armoir from my Grandmother. I love seeing it every day and thinking about her. It’s worth much more than any dollar amount.

  48. Nancy@acommunaltable says

    Gorgeous.. both the crepes and the measuring spoons!! Don’t feel badly about tossing the first few crepes you made – that is generally the ways it goes when making crepes and as the photos show, yours came out beautifully!!

    Favorite heirloom? My mother’s engagement ring.

  50. Rebecca says

    Love the spoons!

    I would find it hard to narrow down to one Heirloom!! I have many from both my grandmother and great grandmother, if I had to choose just one it would be a tossup between the quilt that my great grandmother made and the cast-iron skillets that I ***love***!

  54. sherri says

    my most treasured heirloom i wear everyday – my great grandmothers wedding band – my great grandparents married in 1918, when my granny turned 25 her mom gave it to her, when i turned 25 she gave it to me and i’ve kept it on my finger ever since. it’s thin and worn, but means more to me than i can say.

    i “liked” crosby & taylor on facebook

    as for what product i would like to find under my tree – i really like the look of the coffee canister, sleek but with some character. i also like the reindeer ornaments and i could give those to 9 different people…well 8 since i will keep one for myself ;o)

    thx for introducing a company with unique items!

  60. Rebecca Schneider says

    My favorite heirloom would be my Mothers sewing basket. It still has some of her unfinished projects along with some of my things. It also looks beautiful setting out on display.

  61. Wenderly says

    My most treasured heirloom is my grandmother’s gold pocket watch & chain. It almost feels like a warm hug around my neck and I catch myself constantly running my fingers over the smooth surface as if I can “touch” her somehow through its’ surface. Strange I know, but very comforting in an odd sort of way!

  63. Holly says

    The most treasured heirloom I’ve received is… not an item, but the memories I have made with my family.

  66. fooddreamer says

    The crepes look beautiful, as do the measuring spoons. My most treasured heirloom is a ruby ring my mother found in my grandmother’s possessions after she died. It is very unique and turns out to be a Victorian child’s ring. It is a wonderful connection to my mother’s and grandmother’s heritage.

  67. Holly H. says

    My grandmother’s canisters (flour, sugar, etc.). They were given to her by my grandpa on their 25th wedding anniversary. I can never part with them.

  68. Lynn says

    One of my most treasured heirlooms is a crocheted hostess apron that belonged to my great grandmother. I have it framed and hanging in my dining room. I was just a little girl when she passed away and everytime I see this I think of her.

  70. Melissa says

    Is it strange that you had me at “Nutella” rather than “giveaway”? Those looks delish!

    My most treasured heirloom is a Halloween rattle that belonged to my mother as a child. It has a black cat face on it and I have loved it since I was small.

  71. bunkycooks says

    I would love to win a set of those! They are very pretty. One of my aunts gave me a sterling tea service many years ago. Of course, it is hidden away in the attic now, but it still is very special to me.

  73. Becky says

    a beautiful watch that was my great-grandmother’s. doesn’t tell time, but amazingly beautiful and very much treasured.

  77. Pat Wogan says

    Probably my favorite heirloom is an urn left to me by my father. I have visited the website of Crosby and Taylor, and like Paula Deen, I love the green canister set.

  78. Janie says

    My most treasured heirloom is my mom’s apple blossom tea cup. Not many things have been passed down through our family and since I’m the youngest, I get the last pick of things. My mom let me pick out one of her tea cups that she had been collecting since she was young and it is now one of my most valued possessions.

  80. Janie says

    I would love to see the Fleur de Lys measuring spoons with display strip under my Christmas tree this year. I love how each spoon has a different design for the handle. Makes it look like the set was pieced together.

  82. Michelle @ Brown Eyed Baker says

    Those spoons are absolutely gorgeous! My heirloom is actually a big wooden board that my grandma did all of her baking on. My grandpap made it for her and it covered her entire kitchen table. She would knead dough on it, make gnocchi on it, everything. She gave it to me since she can’t really do any of that anymore.

  83. megan says

    Gosh, I could get some mommy points with this recipe!
    My most treasured heirloom would have to be my old dessert plates that were my grandmothers. I have them hanging on the wall.

  84. Laurie Gray says

    My most treasured heirloom is a cut crystal rose bowl that was my grandmother’s. It holds the petals from every rose that my husband gave me from when we first started dating, my wedding bouquet, our first year of marriage, and the last rose petals are from the bouquet he gave me when our daughter was born…..two years worth of rose petals. I love it!

  85. Laurie Gray says

    I already have the Vinyard measuring cups and spoons with the stand. I saw them in a beautiful store here in Georgia, and my husband got them for me two Christmas’ ago!!! I love them!! I cook and bake all of the time and they are WONDERFUL!!! I use them everyday. My daughters are fighting over who will get them in my will!!! BUT I would love to win this set for my sister….she loves mine. She is my friend and she would be so thrilled!!!

  88. Maureen Bills says

    My most treasured heirloom are the antique Bennington bowls my husband’s grandmother gave me.

  90. Maureen Bills says

    Would love the Vineyard canisters in pistachio….as a matter of fact they are now on my Christmas list! 🙂

  91. Connie says

    My most treasured heirloom is a round crystal jewelry box trimmed in silver that belonged to my grandmother.

  92. Mary Coker says

    My most cherish heriloom is my mother’s cookbook with many of her handwritten recipes in it, the most cherished of which is a special pumpkin pie that is a closely guarded family secret. She passed away when i was 14 and i wasn’t entrusted with the book until i was 30. I am just the guardian of it for my daughter. I don’t just say that because this is a dine & dish website, that truly is my most treasured heirloom. I also have “liked” Crosby & Taylor on Facebook. I have been drooling over their products and hoping for a sale so I can make my first purchase.

  93. karen d says

    My most treasured heirloom is a wooden loveseat that belonged to my fathers great grandparents. His grandparents “courted” on it. It is well over 150 years old.

  94. Mary Coker says

    I am hoping for the garlic cannister and/or the measuring cups and spoons. I saw Paula Deen using them for a long time before finding out where they come from. They’re an eventual must have.

  96. Jessica of My Baking Heart says

    My most treasured heirloom would have to be the spoon rest that my grandmother used in her kitchen. Its in the shape of a little girl and she bought it (with what little money she had at the time) because it reminded her of my mother. It’s chipped and a bit faded but it’s beautiful and I love it!

  99. Michelle @ Italian Mama Chef says

    My favorite heirloom is the table from my grandmother’s house. It was not only used to prepare homemade pastas, cookies, and other food but it was the kids’ table at all the family dinners. I own it now and use it in the same manner.

  103. April in CT says

    My grandmother left her china to me when she passed, it’s gorgeous and I really love that she thought to leave it to me. Thank you, Nanny!

  105. penny giles says

    I have this very old grater and strainer that was given to me by my mom and a bread box also that i’ve already passed down to my daughter…..

  106. Kathy - Panini Happy says

    Lol, that’s a fun super power to have. 🙂 I’ve been entrusted with my husband’s grandmother’s pin cushion she bought on her honeymoon. “Niagara Falls 1942” is embroidered on it. I plan to give it to my daughter as her “something old” when she gets married. 🙂

  107. Michele says

    One, mother in law had a friend of hers paint a Christmas ornament of our oldest son when he was a year old on a blown out egg, and then lucky enough to have four quilts my grandmother made.

  108. Dana says

    I have a silver ornament that makes bird sounds that my Great Uncle used to have at his house. I love it!

  109. Joellyn Aldrich says

    My most treasured heirloom is the my grandmothers butterfly and cuckoo clock on my dad’s side and my grandfathers pocket knife on my Mom’s side.

  111. Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles says

    I have quite a few items that have been handed down. One of my favorites is the 50’s chrome dining table of my grandparents. These pewter items are beautiful! I especially like the measuring spoons and cups, and would love to serve a salad with those servers.

  112. Elle says

    The Limoges china dinnerware from my mother is my heirloom treasure that dates back some 90 years – I “like” Crosby & Taylor on facebook and love their Fleur De Lys Ceramic Cannisters.

  113. Rachel Maser says

    The only heirloom we have is my husbands mothers china, which was purchased over 50 years ago in China when it was actually special to own something from China. I really love using them and set them out for the big occasions and sometimes “just because”. I like C & T on fb and I would love to also have those serving spoons for my salads.

  115. Wendy Hamilton says

    I love baking bread and several years ago my grandmother handed down my great-grandmother’s pyrex bowl that she used for making bread. Of course, with the restriction that I keep using it for that purpose.

  116. Rhonda says

    I was handed down my Great Grandmothers Icelandic costume, hand embroided with silver and gold thread, lace from denmark, made of the finest wool, complete with a “smurf” hat adorned with lace. It was the second one of it type made in Iceland and it has been in the family for 100 year now!

  118. buyffxivgil says

    Wow! Thats an easy recipe to make. I’m going crazy on thinking combinations for this crepe aside from Nutella. Ow, that measuring spoon looks elegant! The design carved are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this one!

  119. Phyllis says

    When my mother-in-law passed away, I received back the small, antique vaseline glass compote I bought her the first Christmas I ever knew her, a year before we were married and moved to the family farm. It reminds me how dear she was to me, how we had many parties together and how she taught me almost everything I know about gracious entertaining. She was a grand and elegant lady with a fierce love for her family. Had she lived to see them, she would love my fish measuring spoons and cups from Crosby and Taylor.

  120. Lorna says

    Nutella is the best!
    I’m not sure this would count as an heirloom yet, but my mother hand-wrote all her recipes (daily and special occasion) and made recipe books for my brother and sister and I. We now live on the other side of the world and it’s so nice to have something so comforting from Mom. Hmm. Special measuring spoons would be a nice companion to my family recipe book 🙂
    Thanks for the give-away!

  121. Carolyn Yarbrough says

    My grandmother was an artist and pen&inked 2 Gibson Girls on gold foil. They were meant for my mother because they looked like her – luckily for me, she didn’t care for them and they went directly to me! I absolutely love them!

  122. Carolyn Yarbrough says

    Went to Crosby & Taylor’s Facebook page and became a fan! Thanx for introducing – they have fabulous stuff!

  123. Megan says

    My most treasured family heirloom has to be my great aunt’s china. I’m fortunate to be able to have this beautiful set in my possession. Now I can see to it that it gets passed down to future generations!

  125. Megan says

    I would love to have the fish spoons under my tree for Christmas. They are absolutely adorable!

  126. Anne-Marie says

    My Mom and Dad have given me our family’s china set. Lennox had a line, that has long been discontinued, that is my maiden name. My other treasured heirlooms, are my Yia Yia’s icons. I miss her so.

  127. Anne-Marie says

    I went window shopping on Crosby and Taylor’s website, and I would love to have the Fish measuring spoons, or the Fish measuring cups, or the Olive oil dispenser, or……I could go on and on! 😉

  130. Kathryn says

    My most treasured heirloom is my grandmother’s maple cutting board. On its surface are marks of her love and labors in the kitchen: scratches from cutting and carving, slight shadows from kneading and oiling, light rings of coffee cups gone cold…The board is both memory and muse as I carry on our family traditions from the kitchen to the table.

  131. Kathryn says

    I’m a fan of Crosby & Taylor on Facebook but have been a fan much longer, since receiving a set of their bamboo measuring spoons as a wedding gift in 2001. (At that time Crosby & Taylor was The Tin Woodsman.) Since then I’ve given other Crosby & Taylor designs as gifts–they are often the most treasured. If Santa (aka my sweetie) would leave a set of the bamboo measuring cups under my tree, I’d be thrilled–and use them immediately to whip up a lovely Christmas morning breakfast of those yummy Nutella crepes!

  132. linda says

    I have a pair of pewter candlesticks that were my grandmother’s. Those measuring spoons are absolutely beautiful and they look handcrafted.

  133. Christi P. says

    My most treasured heirloom that I have is my grandmothers wedding ring that my grandfather gave me….everytime I wear it I can still vision it on her hand. We were so much alike and I miss her horribly!

  134. Debbi Does Dinner Healthy says

    The only thing I can think of is the pictures of grandma and grandpa with the really old frames. And a dresser that used to be my moms that is very special to me. Not exactly an heirloom but I love it! Great giveaway, thanks!

    You know, I’ve still never tried nutella! Not sure what I am waiting for! Thanks!

  135. linda says

    I just looked at the Crosby and Taylor website. I LOVE the salt pots in pistachio and also the bird salt cellar. What beautiful products

  137. Christi P. says

    What lovely things…I would wish for Santa to leave under the tree for me the Vineyard Measuring Cups. How beautiful!!

  138. Lynn BB says

    My favorite heirloom is a first edition autographed copy of “Gone With the Wind.” My mother’s aunt worked in a bookshop and was sent this by Margaret Mitchell. Of course, the book is tucked away, but it’s still very special!

  140. marla {family fresh cooking} says

    The measuring spoons are beautiful! These crepes are so pretty on that blue platter. Please sign me up for this giveaway. Not sure I can think of any heirlooms – but I could pass these measuring spoons down 🙂

  145. jenn in tenn says

    My dad’s cowboy hat! And, BTW, I have the very same special power as you! Maybe we’re The Wonder Twins!

  151. DC says

    Yummm! Nutella! Definitely a taste of childhood and living in Germany.

    Favorite Heirloom? – When I graduated from college, I started saving for a down payment on a house. I was able to purchase one with in a few years. My first Christmas in the house my mom gave me a sequined ornament that she and my dad made their first year of marriage (their now in the 43rd year). It is very delicate and I’ve had to repair it a couple of times before putting it on the tree but it is great to always have my parents life on my tree.

  153. Tricia @ {every}nothing wonderful says

    When I was around 12 my grandmother had, what we now realize was full-fledged Alzheimer’s. Shortly before diagnosis all her jewelry was stolen – well, we think it was…it’s possible she did something with it. We’ll never know. Sadly, it was pieces she collected from all over the world. One day I opened her jewelry box and found a silver ring wedged in the back – I put it on and have worn it every single day of my life since then (which, let’s just say, is a nice chunk of time). I finally found the person who made the ring – a very small, artisan in Rhode Island – it’s completely hand-crafted and one of a kind. One day, when my daughter understands everything it means – both the memory of someone else and every memory I’ve had since finding it – she’ll get the ring.

  154. Danielle says

    What C&T product you’d most like to find under your tree? I already have a weakness for C&T and have several of their handmade American products (and given many as gifts). On my wish list from them now is their beautiful Canister Set.

  157. Amanda says

    Most treasured heirloom. Unfortunately for me we don’t have a whole lot of those in our family. Where they all went or who has them is a mystery. Maybe an aunt or uncle, who knows. However, I have a little blue ceramic trinket box with white edging and a cherub on top. my mother died when I was 23. The day she died we all met at her apartment. Through many tears and much heartfelt sorrow, we sifted through her things and said goodbye. My mother’s friend, Cathy, came over while we were they. She pulled me aside and with tears in her eyes she handed me this little box. All she said was “Your mom wanted you to have this. No one else, just you.” Saddest part is I have no idea what significance this little box holds. Was it her mother’s passed down from generation to generation, or was it something she picked up in a gift shop somewhere? I’ll never know. Cathy didn’t know, neither did my brothers or anyone else. I cherish that little box. It’s on my nightstand and someday I’ll pass it down to my daughter. She’ll know my story, though we’ll never know mom’s. Love you mom, miss you so bad. 20 years and I still cry and feel pain in my heart. I’ll see you again some day.

  158. Starla says

    My most treasured heirloom is my father’s old camera. Its the old kind where you look down into the glass to see the photo.

  159. Jessica S says

    The ring that my great-great grandmother gave me when I was a very little girl. It means the world to me because she was a great woman.

  160. fat lazy celiac says

    You know, I don’t really have any heirlooms. Lucky for me, everyone in my family is still alive & kicking, and haven’t given away any of their stuff yet!

  161. Valerie says

    My most treasured family heirloom is a crystal bell I inherited from my great aunt. I love it to death, but I hesitate to display it for fear it will get damaged somehow. I hope that one day I can pass it along!

  164. Delta Whiskey says

    I have my grandmother’s grandmother’s (so… my great, great grandmother?) cocoa set. It’s fine bone china, so old that it’s paper thin in places.

  166. SomeGirl says

    Those are LOVELY!! I’d LOVE to win!!

    My most treasured heirloom is just about anything my Grandmother has made… quilts, plates, blankets, you name it. 🙂

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  167. Janice says

    I have some interesting silver salt and pepper sets from my Grandmother – the salt dispensers are the kind with a little spoon. One is an old Samarai warrior helmet and one is a rickshaw!

  168. Dana Brandenburg says

    My most treasured heirloom is a small quilt that my great grandmother Katie made for me when I was a young girl. All of the quilt pieces were made out of my grandpa’s favorite shirt, a favorite skirt of my great grandma’s and the back of the quilt is made entirely of my grandma’s kitchen curtains from the 50’s! When I hold that quilt I get such a feeling of love and connection to people who are no longer here with me.

  172. dani says

    liked on facebook.

    seen similar spoons on paula deen’s christmas recipe on the food network the other day and couldn’t get over how detailed they were 🙂 gorgeuse!

  174. Danielle says

    I don’t have any herilooms that have been given to me, but I certainly hope I will have collected some that my (future) children can cherish one day… the products at Crosby & Taylor would be a great place to start :p

  177. belinda says

    i would love to have the pistachio soneware set under the christmas tree christmas morning it is so beautiful

    Oh my wordy word, those are beautiful! Hey, if you like lovely handcrafted kitchen doodads, check out these guys – Beehive Kitchenware – they’ve got a bit of a different design esthetic from Crosby & Taylor, but it’s all handmade and local (to me, anyway). I see them every year at the Bazaar Bizarre, the best craft fair ever, and I always kind of want to buy everything at their table.

    My treasured family heirloom is the only family heirloom I have – my late grandmother’s pearl necklace, which I never wear because I don’t get invited to Mad Men parties. It’s treasured because a) I’m pretty sure it’s real pearls, and b) my mom gave it to me to wear with my wedding dress, having received it for the same purpose herself lo these many years ago.

    I kept trying to write more, but things kept veering off in a direction too sappy or revelatory for a blog comment.

    I’d most like to find under my tree…
    not be a copy cat, but I do love those measuring cups too!
    I love loved all of the stuff from the “bird” collection – too many to list!
    And I loved the vineyard salad servers too.
    This is an awesome website!

    Look at those crepes! You go girl. I love my set of pewter measuring spoons from Crosby and Taylor. They were one of my favorite wedding gifts.

    My family on my mother’s side is all from Sweden. My Great Aunt was one of the first female olympic divers and my great grand parents were well-known opera singers, so I have a Swedish heritage to be very proud of. As a wedding gift, my Grandmother gave me her antique, hand-blown, hand painted cocktail glasses from Sweden, which were made by her uncle. When you look down into them, they are painted to look like peach flowers with green leaves and they are gorgeous! Since I was a little girl, I have always loved them and I am excited to be able to display them in my *first* new home (we are purchasing next week!) to always remind me of my family and heritage. I hope to continue passing them down when I have children or grandchildren of my own. 🙂

    When I got married, my mother in law gave me the glass sugar bowl and creamer set that belonged to my husbands great grandmother. I just love them!!

  186. Che Smith says

    My most treasured heirloom is an antique pocket watch handed down to me from my grandfather, which he used while working as a railroad engineer.

    My favorite heirloom is a hand carved wooden butter paddle that my great
    uncle made and gave to my mother when she married in 1934. When I was young, we churned our own butter and I had to turn the Daisy Churn and when it was finally made, Mother would work the ball of butter with that paddle and make a
    flower design on the top of the cake of butter. What great butter that was. When I look at that paddle, I think of the hands that made it and the hands that have used it.

    A few years before I was born my great grandmother, and namesake, passed away after acquiring pneumonia suddenly. She was known to be a vibrant and amazing women who lit up a room. My grandmother kept a few of Madeline’s jewelry pieces and saved them for me, including everything monogrammed, since my initials conveniently match. When I was about to enter sixth grade, my grandmother gave me one of Madeline’s emerald rings because I was mature enough to not loose it. Unfortunately, that statement arrived right as I was in the middle of moving back to the United States from South Korea, so my family was in between hotels until we were able to buy a house, and of course in that time the ring went missing. I was so embarrassed. For years I thought we left it at this Double Tree Hotel and when I was a little older I even considered calling. Thinking about the ring at all made me blush with shame–in fact it still makes me a little queasy. Six years later, my dad had retired from the military and I was in high school when I was cleaning underneath a shelf in my closet where I had found a puzzle. Each time I reached under the shelf I found another puzzle piece, when I came across a small box I didn’t recognize. Upon opening the box, I found the ring that had been missing for so many years. It was such a surprise and losing it had been such a secret burden, that I think I cried with relief. I haven’t lost it since.

    So, I ‘m supposed to be writing heirlooms, but I didn’t. OK, here’s one of mine.

    When I was a kid my mom would give us her special colored scarves to dance with to classical music. One survived and I still have it. So many precious memories of my dear momma.

  195. Kristen says

    I just went to their website and LOVE the Dragonfly Salt Pot. I will definitely be ordering some items from them.

  196. Kim B. says

    My favorite family heirloom is my grandmother’s wedding ring that she gave to me when she passed away. My grandmother had 3 boys & of her 3 grandchildren I am the only girl 🙂

  197. Holly says

    My mom gave me an etched jar that she put her sugar in. Her mother had gotten it as a wedding present and she gave to me before she passed away. I use it as a cookie jar.

  198. Cheryl says

    I would love the Holy Family Ornament..what a way to remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas!

  199. Carin Saverino says

    My favorite heirloom is my Great-Grandmother’s candy dish that she always had filled with candied orange slices. As a kid, I didn’t like those gummy things and always wondered why she couldn’t fill that dish with chocolate or something good? As I’ve gotten older, I have grown to love those silly orange slices and can’t eat or see one without thinking of Grandma Hazel, may she rest in peace.

  200. Maggie Smith says

    I really don’t have any heirlooms yet. My grandmothers are both still living and I assume once they pass I will acquire some new things. I am okay with this because I wouldn’t trade my days with them for anything!

  203. Jenn@eatcakefordinner says

    I am so glad I came across your blog. These measuring cups and spoons are the top items on my “wish list”. It would be amazing to win them. My most treasured heirloom is my grandmother’s cedar chest. My grandpa gave it to me back in July.

  204. Renee Richardson says

    My most treasured is a porcelain carousel my grandmother gave me and I will pass it on to my children. Thanks for the amazing giveaway 🙂

    My most treasured is a beautiful china set from Germany that I purchased at a flea market. I collect china and this one is one of the most beautiful ones I have come across.
    Thank you for making me aware of Crosby & Taylor…. love their site and will be doing some Christmas shopping!
    I have liked them on facebook.

  208. Rachelle says

    One of my most treasured item is probably the pillow case set my Mom gave me for a Bridal gift, that my Grandma embroidered. They stay put away.

  211. Paige says

    I inherited all of my great-aunts (and therefore, great-grandmother’s) bakeware and I love it! I have distinct memories of all sorts of dishes cooked in each piece.

  217. Michelle @ Taste As You Go says

    A couple of years ago, my grandmother gave me a silver serving tray that she received for her 25th wedding anniversary. I have yet to use it (mostly because I’m afraid to ruin it!), but I love knowing that it’s in my kitchen.

  219. Krista Mortellaro says

    My most treasured heirloom has to be my mother’s Waterford crystal that she has been collecting for as long as I have been alive. Most of it is from the 1950-1960’s and it’s a great heirloom that I can’t wait to pass down to my children!

  223. Marilyn Ferrell says

    After my mother-in-law passed away 6 years ago, I was terribly depressed after my brother-in-law decided that his new wife should have her lovely, diamond anniversary ring. They also took her set of silverplated silverware which I had longed for for years as I set the table for special occasions. After all had been distributed, I stumbled upon a distressed ring in her jewelry box which had had a stone cut from the center and a band almost worn through. Amazingly, it was my size (4 1/2). I took it to our local jeweler who restored it to its original. Even though I wanted a larger stone, he replaced it with a tiny diamond that it originally had. He said it was 14kt gold, dated from late 1800’s to early 1900’s, and the wear proved how much she loved it. We assume it belonged to my husband’s grandmother whom he loved dearly. I have worn it every day since with pride and it serves as a reminder that material things are just that. Fortunately I followed my intuition and did not overlook and discard this sad-looking ring so now I have something more valuable to pass down to my children. I had the jeweler make a mold of the ring in case it is ever lost or in case someone else wants a replica. I have encouraged my children to let me know if there is anything they would like to have to avoid heartbreak and disappointment in the far, far future.

  224. Marilyn Ferrell says

    I discovered an old, distressed ring by accident while going through my mother-in-law’s jewelry box after her death. What initially appeared as a skeleton of a ring with missing stone and worn-out band turned out to be an heirloom dating to late 1800’s to early 1900’s in 14kt white gold apparently belonging to my husband’s grandmother whom he loved dearly. Totally restored, it is my favorite heirloom which I wear every day.

  225. Paulynn Baillargeon says

    I inhearited a china closet that I use to display my favorite plates and ornaments. A reminder of what our ancesters had for storage as they had no cabinets to store any of these items.

  228. Jeanette B says

    Mine are my mixing bowls the the women in my family, Bauer bowls and old pottery bowls. I have such good memories when I bring them out and use them of the goodies that were mixed in the bowls and the stories of the things mixed in the bowls before I was even born.

  229. Dee Ami says

    My Grandmothers Shadow Box. It is large and bulky and often difficult to find wall space for. But I would not give it up for the world.

  232. Arlene Burger says

    July 22, 2013 was my 59th Birthday and my husband and I were in Maine vacationing at Moosehead Lake, Greenville.. We came across a store called Maine Mountain Soap & Candles Co. When we walked in the door I immediately saw the most beautiful measuring cups and stand that I have ever seen (I believe the name of them is Fleur de Lys). I really wanted them but the price was over my budget. While canoeing and enjoying the Loons on the lake later that day my husband presented me with a birthday gift….yes, the Crosby & Taylor pewter measuring cups. We are home now in PA and they look even more beautiful in my kitchen.
    It is now my most favorite heirloom. Absolutely Beautiful.!!!!!
