This last Monday my friend Galina and I went out for our daily walk in Waterfront Park along the Willamette River.  We were surprised and awed by the beauty we encountered.

The overnight icy temperatures and morning fog had held and were revealing their splendors in icy details and majestic vistas.

The trees were robed in their Christmas majesty and the sun revealed its glory with a rainbow crown.

Margaret Furlong Signing Angels

Dear Friends,
I am headed to Virginia!  We have scheduled 3 events in Virginia this year so I will be looking for you to come and visit me and see the new angels.  If you have one angel or ornament at home, bring it to the signing and I will sign that piece for you too.  I will be giving a FREE 2″ Liberty Angel to the first 10 people in line who make a purchase.

Most of these retailers are now carrying my new jewelry line. Call the retailer to find out if they have my jewelry in stock!  Here are the signing locations:

Last November I did a signing at Bloomin Crazy and I enjoyed meeting many sweet customers and signing lots of angels and ornaments. The last Saturday of this month, October 29th, I’ll be there again from 1:00PM to 2:30PM. Come to the signing and bring one of your angels from home and I’ll sign that too.

Many Oregonians have been purchasing my angels for years and I will be pleased to be at Bloomin Crazy to say thank you, thank you!

I will be giving away a FREE 2” 2011 Liberty Angel to the first 10 people in line to make a purchase.

Twenty Years Later

This first photograph of my daughter, Caitlin, and me was published in the 1990 catalog and the second photograph was taken earlier this year in New Zealand when I was visiting Caitlin. Even though 20 years have passed, Caitlin is still my little girl and it is fun to share this recent photo of both of us together.

Caitlin moved to New Zealand after she finished her BFA in Graphic Design. While she was there, she worked for a design firm in Wellington. It was wonderful to know that she was following in my footsteps as an artist and designer, but difficult to have her so far away.

To my delight, she has just recently moved back to the U.S. and is here helping us at MFD with some marketing projects and also on a new product line. We are having so much fun! I appreciate her fresh perspective and the contributions she’s been making to the new line.  Both Caitlin and I are very excited about this new endeavor that will be available in January of 2011.

For right now, Caitlin and I are both contributing articles in this Christmas Ideas section of the website. I hope you are enjoying this new section in our website. We have provided a place for you to comment on these articles and also you will be able to read the comments from others. We love hearing from you!
