While over 20 million people in the US do yoga, it's rare to see an amphibian indulging in the practice. We think that just makes Herend's new Yoga Frog all the more special, don't you?

Crab season in our home state of Maryland runs from April to December. Prime crab feasting time is usually in the summer so you can get together with friends and family and enjoy a bushel outside. As the weather begins to change, you may not have too many more opportunities to feast on these wondrous crustaceans, but Salisbury's pewter crabs will last all year long! Keep them around the house as a memento of your favorite season and favorite delicacy!
