UK/Ireland folks | Look forward to more marketing, including Clinique x Crayola; Crayola sand kits part of the larger recall

You all should be getting more attention from Crayola soon.

Crayola is hoping to double their business in the area, so you should be seeing more marketing and events in the next several years, as well as wider availability.

They've recently been doing various pop-ups, so keep an eye on their social media (@crayola_uk) so you know when the next one.

Earlier this month, there was a Crayola World of Creativity pop-up at OXO Gallery in London.

The makeup brand Clinique is collaborating with Crayola in a "four-month experiential campaign" with pop-up experiences in various locations, as well as additional in-store marketing.

From the unboxing videos (another), it seems to be only an advertising campaign at this point. Unlike the 2017 collaboration (another) (another) (another), the products aren't Crayola-branded, just the marketing materials.

I couldn't find a calendar for new dates, but there's lots of video of the past events:

(Colorado) Retrieving sentimental items from my father's unwilling spouse?

Location: Colorado

My father passed away several weeks ago after being in a nursing home for years.

I have an old will of his where I'm the executrix and everything is split between my siblings and I, and then a series of emails from several years after he was remarried where he says he made a new will, and says that I'm going to get "all [his] sentimental and general nature stuff".

One of my brothers is autistic, and lived with my father as an adult. He moved out after my father's remarriage, and left some of his things behind.

I thought I had a cordial if distant relationship with his wife.

I emailed her a list of things including a small art piece he made in the 1970s, photographs, paperwork including my brother's childhood medical records, books, and a few other mailable items including three lightweight musical instruments and small electronic tools that he used in his career.

I was unpleasantly surprised with her response that she had no intention of giving us any of these things due to her feelings about my brother that used to live with them, regardless of any will.

I've had two paid consultations with different law firms.

The first lawyer said that they could open a probate case for us for $6K flat rate if uncontested, or we could open a probate case ourselves with the old will and his emails from when he made the newer one.

The second lawyer said that there wasn't much point, because his wife used her power of attorney to change the deed several years ago to transfer to her on his death , and any personal effects inside the house would be considered hers more or less.

I've been checking with both the county that he lived in and listed on his death certificate, as well as the county of the nursing home that he died in, and no probate cases have been opened.

She's moved out of their house and her children are in the process of cleaning it out.

Is there anything I can do to stop the papers and sentimental items from being thrown away?
