Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many handmade artisans and have experienced getting to know them and their wares.

Find out who I’ve connected with and who I smile about every time I use their handmade item. I may just sneak in an item of mine for that hard to buy for gal….

Read on to see just a slice of my recent life through the eyes of an apple seed (or two) – it may just be what the doctor ordered.
