Our Story

 

Hi Everyone,

Yup, that's me! I'm Margi Mason, the founder of MRS. MASON'S CO. and here's a little bit about how it all started. Once upon a time...

Around 1989/1990, I took a good hard look at my life to see what I was committed to. I had a successful career in Sales, but it just wasn't enough. In the end, I realized that I was committed to love, kindness, generosity, abundance and peace, and whatever I was going to take on, it had to be an expression of that commitment.

For years I had been making brittles for my neighbors and friends, and pretty soon I was taking orders from my neighbors' friends and friends' friends. The "thank you" notes I received were overwhelming and deeply inspiring! I was hearing stories of how the brittles were mending relationships between feuding in-laws, as well as those between clients and hairdressers. Neighbors were sharing it with one another and having real conversations for the first time. Spouses were playfully using it to seduce and guests were using it to thank hostesses. Nieces had finally found the perfect gift for their uncles who had everything, and boyfriends found the perfect gift for their new partners.

After hearing, "You really should go into business!" for about five years, in 1994 the MRS. MASON'S CO. was born, featuring Luscious Temptations Handmade Premium Brittles. From there, we were in 16 Nordstrom stores almost overnight. We also served the Ritz Carlton, Macy's, Jacobson's, Hallmark, HOUR Magazine, several brokerage houses, the San Francisco Ballet, the Detroit Zoo, and a wide range of specialty food stores and gift basket boutiques. After numerous store closures exacerbated by the pandemic, combined with corporations realigning their inventories, I closed our Royal Oak, MI store and decided to downsize to a seasonal, online business.

It's clear to me that I am fulfilling my commitment to express love, kindness, generosity, abundance and peace in the world. For the MRS. MASON'S CO. it's a mission, and for some, yes, it's just a box of candy.

I hope you'll love our Luscious Temptations! Give them away as an act of kindness. Share them generously. There's no need to hide them, we will make an abundant supply! And, if you ever want to make the world a little sweeter, offer Luscious Temptations as a gift of peace!

Enjoy something real and beautiful from us.

All the best to you,

(Mrs.) Margi Mason and The Incredible Mrs. Mason's Team
