Artist Maggie Lindley offers
fresh new mug designs for her
collection My Soul’s Window by
Maggie Lindley for
Enesco ( HYPERLINK
“http://www.enesco.
com” www.enesco.
com; 800/4-ENESCO).
“I only want to offer a
product that is sincere,
both in sentiment and
design,” says Lindley.
“The driving force behind My Soul’s Window are the words,
and the biggest compliment I can receive from a buyer
is that the products make people
cry. To evoke emotion in just a few
words is the soul of our brand, and
something I will always strive to
do. Whenever I’m writing a new
sentiment, I test it on my mom.
Mom’s a talker, so if she cries and/
or falls silent, I know I’ve got a
winner. It’s worked every time.”
The 16 oz mugs measure 5” high
and are made of Earthenware. Suggested retail: $10 each.
