Details
It’s just after seven a.m. on a warm summer Saturday, and already the aromas of ethnic delicacies are wafting through “The Market” in downtown Fredericton. Even at this early hour, there’s a good crowd gathering. Naturally, the coffee vendors are busy. So are those who are selling fresh-squeezed orange juice and smoothies. As usual, a line up is forming in front of the samosa makers’ stall.
Outside, in the main courtyard, a couple of local musicians are tuning up their instruments while a garlic farmer unloads his truck. A few steps away, the premier of the province is chatting with a university professor who just moved to Fredericton from the West Coast.
Not only is the capital city of New Brunswick waking up on this fine Saturday morning, so too is its spirit.

Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
