From the Editor:
I was totally giddy with excitement over the list of wonderful, beautiful-hearted women and places that I wanted to shop with and support this year for Christmas.....and then I started noticing... so very many of the women around me also have different goals for their gift giving this year.
We want to shop small.
We want to buy local.
We want to buy products that are high quality, made with real hands, and built to last like the treasures we had handed down to us from our grandmothers.
We are done with things that add more noise to our lives.
We want gifts that are carefully chosen. We crave gifts with meaning.
We want to be an encouragement and to pour joy into our homes and the lives of our loved ones.
So this year, the Artisan Gift Guide focuses on Mother makers and treasuring our homes, our loved ones, and those still quiet moments.
I hope you enjoy these gifted women as much as I do.
Merry Handmade Christmas!
Elizabeth LeMaster
