If you are looking for favorite words to stamp on the metal, I have three favorites.
The first is “Excelsior!” It is is such a mundane product (no longer used much), but has such a wonderful ring to it.
The second is “Flambeaux” French for beautiful flame, or candle, but in this country is the black, snokey, kerosene filled lanterns that are used at night t warn of road construction.
The third is”Clandestinity” It has a lovely sound to it and could be used to describe all kids of secret things from dreams to hidden places.
I’m a word lover from way back and love to use odd words in my work.

I’d love to watch the videos, however they do not appear to be available.
I have a new favorite word also that I would like to suggest – Serendestiny. The meaning I gave my made up word is – The innate ability to accidently find great and valuable gifts in the inevitable succession of events in one’s life.
I enjoy your magazine and all the wonderful extras you provide. Thanks for a great product and great value.
