Simply Stated
September 17, 2009
Kate Parker from SimplyStated a blog from RealSimple.com, shared my work with her readers. I was honored to have her write about me. Grateful I am to be able to make things with my hands and make people smile.
Kate said “Handmade gifts have that extra special, personal touch – and it’s always nice to support independent artisans. At $14, these match boxes are an affordable and unique present – plus it’s something everyone needs.” The “Met Opera” matches were one of her favorites.
Thank you Kate for sharing my work.
