New Products: Monogrammed Buckets, Leather Holsters and Oyster Aprons


Monogrammed Oyster Buckets
Harbor Island Oyster Co. (www.harborislandoyster.com_


In addition to writing and researching for this blog, I also run Harbor Island Oyster Co. (www.harborislandoyster.com) - the premier stop for engraved oyster knives, oyster accessories and oyster gifts.  As promised, Oyster Stew readers get first dibs on new products and special offers.  We just introduced three new products this week and I wanted you to be the first to know.



LEATHER HOLSTER


Leather Holster for Harbor Island Oyster Co. Signature Engraved Oyster Knives



We are all pinching ourselves with how beautiful these leather sheaths are.  We worked for months to find just the right leather artisan to create a leather holster (or sheath) as beautiful as our Signature engraved oyster knives.  Tucked away in a small town in Wisconsin, we finally found Charles Smith, a leather craftsman who is meticulous about the details. Thread your belt through the leather loop on the holster and drop in your knife.  The more you use it, the better the patina. Each holster is hand cut, hand dyed and hand stitched. We don't know for sure, but we think we're the only company that offers a fresh choice for the girls; the holsters come in two colors, Southern Brown for the guys or Magenta for the girls.  Order in the next week, and we'll take $5 for each sheath. These will sell out quickly so be sure to get your order in soon.  Father's Day and graduations are right around the corner ... Click here to order now.




MONOGRAMMED OYSTER BUCKETS


Monogrammed Party Bucket
Too cute ... and can be used for so much more than collecting oyster shells.  We love these buckets around the office to hold office supplies.  At home, I use them to sort toys.  And I just used them at a party to hold water bottles and juice boxes.  You can choose a monogram or name (up to 10 letters).  Choose from blue stripes with green lettering or red stripes with blue lettering.  I'm thinking Mother's Day for the organized moms/wives in your life and definitely order a few for collecting oysters shells at your next roast.  Click here to order now.












OYSTER APRONS



I Speak Oyster Aprons
Oyster Whisperers - you know who you are ... Our "I Speak Oyster" aprons will talk to the oyster lovers in your life.  They make terrific hostess gifts at your next roast, or buy one for yourself to identify yourself to other oyster gurus.  Comes in two colors: black and white.
















Special bonus for those who read to the end: use the coupon code OYSTERBLOG before March 20, 2013 and receive 15% off your entire order.  As always, we offer free shipping, free engraving, free velvet bags with all of our Signature knives, exceptional customer service and guaranteed products.  Order early for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduations and all the Spring birthdays.  Enjoy!

Welcome to Oyster Stew


Welcome to the first entry of Oyster Stew.  

I'm Kim ... I'm the founder of Harbor Island Oyster Co. ... and I really, really love oysters.  I once bet my husband and brother that I could eat 10 dozen raw oysters in one sitting.  I haven't yet tried, but I still think I could.  They don't.  I'll keep you posted.

Topsail Sound Salties

Of course, to true ostreophiles, eating oysters is not a belly-up-to-the-buffet affair.  It's about savoring the mollusk.  It's about the salinity, the liquor, the sweetness, the pedigree ... I appreciate all of it, really, I do.  But sometimes, an oyster is just an oyster.  

I like to dig into a huge pile of steamed Topsail Sound Salties as much as I like to pour a glass of Pinot Grigio and savor the brassiness of raw European Flats.  Sometimes I geek out and read about new species and sometimes I get giddy when I see the perfect oyster shell chandelier.  Always, I enjoy learning about them. This blog is an opportunity to share with other oyster lovers.  It's also the place where I'll first introduce all of our new products - including blog-only promotions and opportunities to be the first to buy.  


Harbor Island Oyster Co. Signature Knife
Quick introduction: Harbor Island Oyster Co. (www.harborislandoyster.com) sells oyster knives, accessories and related oyster products.  Our Signature product is the engraved stainless steel oyster knife.  It's stunning.  Really.  It's impressive.  And, it's only $35 with free shipping and free engraving.  But we're just getting started.  Soon we'll have oyster jewelry, foldable oyster tables, holiday decorations, home decor  and much, much more.  Always, we will be representin' the oyster - and maybe a few of his or her sea friends.  (Did you know that oysters can change sexes several times during their life?  More on that later.)  

I hope you enjoy Oyster Stew.  Along the way, I'd like your feedback.  And if you have any products that you think would sell well on the website, please let me know.  I'm always available at kim@harborislandoyster.com.
