Seriously, wasn’t it just March and we were at The Inspired Home Show in Chicago? I don’t know how it was for you, but after two pandemic years that dragged, this year seemed to fly by Now, everyone is making plans for the 2023 trade shows

Welcome to the 2023 Buyers Guide! Browse the listings to see what products are avail able

As we were planning this issue, I was also thinking about what gifts to buy the men in my life I’m not an enthusiastic shopper I like knowing what I want, finding out where it is, getting it and getting out of there My sister loved to browse and shop around for good offers and it ticked her off when I did my shopping and found whatever it was I wanted just happened to be on sale Sorry, sis

But, really I’ve always found it difficult to shop for guys I started looking around and kept seeing gift collections designed to appeal to men and thought it would make a fun fea ture Yes, this is being published around the year end holidays, but since there are other oc casions where men deser ve gifts throughout the year birthdays, anniversaries, Father’s Day, etc this topic is evergreen

It was informative and fun to talk to folks at The Manly Man Co (gotta love that name), Walden Wood Farm, our good friend Jacob at Stonewall Kitchen and Sugar Plum Foods I stashed ideas in the back of my head for possible gifts for my friends I wonder which Yankee Candle scent can cover the smell of a cigar? I took some Damn, Man nuts to a dinner party and my guy friends raved about them (one was already a fan) My nephew would probably love some Gentleman Beard Wash and Balm And a Meat Card that I can order with a cus tomized message? Don’t tempt me with a good time We hope you enjoy the article

Also, we take a look at Belwith Keeler, the storied brass hardware company celebrating a remarkable 130 years in business I was amazed at this company ’ s history and how it stayed in business through the Great Depression, both world wars and the pandemic I’m always impressed how great details like the right hardware really brings a design together I enjoyed talking with Knikki Grantham, Belwith Keeler’s style director and brand ambassador I con fessed that I was watching a movie recently that was set in the 1940s and it startled me to see the kitchen hardware because it was obvious (to me) to be from the early 2000s She laughed and said she notices things like that, too I don’t feel so weird now

Most people I know are relieved that we have gotten through this year, pretty much intact Even with everything else going on, we are optimistic for 2023 We wish everyone a suc cessful year! Take care and stay safe KN
