In the 1960's, Henry Krueger began his carving legacy in Reading, Massachusetts by creating a Viking chess set. What an impressive first undertaking! Hank won numerous awards for his woodcarvings. He was also a founding father of the New England Woodcarvers Association. In the 1980's, Leslie and her father Henry had a successful local craft business selling decorative wooden folk art. Hank's intricate, wooden state and country magnets can still be found on refrigerators in the U.S. and around the world today. Henry passed in 2007. Leslie and her daughter Jennifer are now spreading their love for handcrafted items as the second and third generation.

You will find Leslie, a retired middle school principal and "CFO" of Third Jenneration, supporting Jenn at craft fairs. Leslie also designs and creates headbands and fascinators. Her favorite headband designs include anything with peppermints! The bigger, the better!

Jenn, a physical education teacher, designs and creates original and often one-of-a-kind headbands. Her headband business began when she created "Title Town" headbands to show her spirit at school for her favorite New England sports teams. Many teachers wanted to purchase the headbands to wear at school, games, or watching the Super Bowl or World Series! In addition to the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Revs headbands, some of her favorite headbands include the unique, whimsical Christmas headbands that tower almost 2 feet above her head!
