A Lovely Blog to Share With You

I adore handmade things, regardless of what they are. Handmade is always better, lovelier, in my opinion. When a person takes the time to create something, whether it is a painting, a piece of jewelry, or a hand-carved trinket, they cannot help but put a little bit of themselves into each item. I suppose people create for different reasons, but, mostly, I believe people create because they have no choice---they simply MUST do it. Their art is so much a part of who they are it is almost as necessary as breathing.

Jeff and Taryn, at Wooly Moss Roots, are those kind of people-----they live a beautiful, simple, purposeful life (with their little son, Bracken) and spend their time creating lovely things to share with the world. The amazing pieces that Jeff hand-carves speak volumes to me about the reason he creates and I've no doubt that each and every work of art he turns out has been lovingly and joyfully made.
