I have not been very good about posting this past month or so. Things are very busy right now. I seem to be setting up deliveries and writing quotes for orders quite often these days. A good sign for the economy I think.
Below is a photo that I received the other day of a set of my Waltham Chairs that I made for a Vermont client last year. A fellow guild member, Paul Donio made the table and at present I am making six of my New Waltham Side Chairs for another client who is also having a table made by Paul.
The client notes- "I didn't realize it when I took the shot, but everything in it, even the forged candlesticks and watercolor painting in the background, are all done by Vermont artisans."
I love the canvas floor cloth. It is made in Perkinsville by Lisa Curry Mair of Canvasworks.
We are finally getting a bit of snow. 3 or so inches so far. Not much, but believe it or not, they cancelled school today. It is pretty.
Back to the shop to put the backs on a couple of Waltham Arm Chairs and to work on a 6' Cod Rib Settee.
Enjoy the snow.

Next up- New Waltham Chairs and a Trestle Table w/ leaves.
Great looking chairs. And table. And love the floor cloth. Lots of talent in that room.Very cool that everything in the shot was locally made. I wish that was the case in more homes. It's so wonderful to support local craftspeople. I'd love to be able to rid my house of the store-bought junk and replace it all with items that I or other local artisans have made.
