The scent of furniture wax, fresh linens and lingering oil paint fill the air.\u00a0It feels timeless in the most comforting way.<\/h3>\n

Is this the fragrance of a home a century ago?I ponder sipping tea at our dining table.<\/h3>\n

The table is rich walnut, skillfully designed and crafted by my husband Marc.<\/h3>\n

\"table<\/a>\u00a0\"DSC02531<\/a><\/h3>\n

Wooden chair cradles the way a custom fit will. Sensuous curves Marc carved with hand tools. It\u2019s smooth texture encouraged with countless hours of sanding.<\/h3>\n

Tea steams in a pottery mug, made by known potter, Al Pace. I visualize his large hands molding the clay as mine wraps around its warmth.<\/h3>\n

The paintings, furniture and clay intermingle like the scents in the air. Each compliments and celebrates the other.<\/h3>\n

Some believe the spirit of the creator lives with the art, an energy source, breathing life to the space.<\/h3>\n

A quilt folded nearby, sewn by our friend Debi, offers comfort on a cool fall evening. I think of her hands running over the stitches, hours of design cutting, & sewing. The inside corner hosts her heartwarming message.<\/h3>\n

The season of Autumn is upon us.<\/h2>\n

With it brings Studio tours, One of a Kind shows, and craft fairs.<\/h3>\n

Artisans offering their wares, hand made with passion and attention to detail.<\/h3>\n

As you peruse the fairs and studios, it is a treat to meet the artists, to shake the hands that crafted your purchase.<\/h3>\n

In a society of consumerism and mass production, it’s rare to know your item is handmade.<\/h3>\n

\"DSC04376<\/a><\/h3>\n

An original you will not decorate with, but live<\/em> with.<\/h3>\n

Created with love that is carried in the smooth craftsmanship of a chair, stitching in a quilt, curve of a clay mug, and resonating paint on canvas.<\/h3>\n

Who do you live<\/em> with?\"DSC04235\"<\/h3>\n
