Warmth

With Winter firmly set in we are all looking for ways to keep warm, whether in our bodies, hearts, minds or spirit.  We have been looking in our usual and not so usual places for Indie items that fit the bill of WARMTH.
From pints of Fire Cider to one of a kind fluffy quilts, our array of finds will warm you in at least one of the ways we mention above. 

Once again, we thank those of you who have been faithful subscribers even through our hiatus of over a year.  We are striving to keep our posts more current and hope that you will enjoy each forthcoming issue.
  If you know of a talented designer or artisan, please pass along their information to us - they just might get featured in an upcoming blog!  If you visit any of our featured shops, please let them know where you saw them and that you liked their item.   They always appreciate positive feedback and validation of their talents.
