Since my last message, I've been busy finding folks who make cool things by hand.  But rather than choosing products myself, I decided to get in touch to find out what really interests you.  It's not even Halloween yet and the stores have rolled out the holiday season . . . smack-dab in the middle of an intense political battle and constant chatter about the state of the economy.  Maybe I can provide some needed stress relief.

I'd like to put my energy into finding the things that interest you, whether they're for gifts or for your own use.  You know I'm pretty passionate about handcrafted wares.  And I also try to support independent artists and other folks who put out their own music cds, books, artwork, and other small run products.  When you spend your money "close to the ground" like this, it has an immediate real world impact on people's lives.  And you typically get higher value than you would with a similar mass-produced product.

So I've put together a short and simple survey so you can tell me what you would like to see. As I locate the products that interest you, I'll review them on my handmade blog and send you links via email.  My efforts will be directed towards finding the things you want to see, and if you see something you want to buy, you can just follow the link from my blog.  
 
Thanks much.
