Dear Toni-
How right you are! Both as a maker, and as a collector, there is no experience more rewarding than surrounding ourselves with handmade things. A hundred years ago, everything that people owned was not only handmade, but was made by people that the owner knew. What a wonderful way to live. I wake up under a handmade spread, use a handwoven towel to dry my face, handmade mugs for tea and coffee, and send my wife off to work with jewelry and clothes that are handmade. All of our furniture is handmade, with custom woven fabric. It is a joy to me every day to be surrounded by the spirit of all of these makers in my home. Thanks for offering us such a great way to find these wonderful things, and the people who make them.
Your fan, Andy Glantz
