Continuing that train-of-thought, I thought it might be appropriate to mention some of the inexpensive items which were not selected by FW Weekly. Although certainly not comprehensive, we thought we'd highlight some of the items under $20. Please remember that these items are one-of-a-kind, or in very limited supply.
Karl Hoffman hand-forms some fascinating letter-openers by splitting wood from the Bois d'arc tree (among the hardest woods in North America). He does not use a saw, but relies upon he natural grain of the wood to define most of the shape. The result is curvy, beautiful, and a tactile delight. $10.
Dale Miller still has a couple original cast sterling silver rings being offered at $10.
Wayne Mandrell has polished amber, with identified bugs, starting at $10. These are small pieces, and the bugs are tiny, but the price is amazing.
Sandi McFarland offers hand-thrown and hand-carved pottery, several of which are offered at $10 to $15.
Teresa Sanchez offers many of her hand-thrown pottery items at $15.
Dyan Johnson, Margaret Laughlin and LaNelle Tadlock each offer hand-made earrings in the $12 to $20 range.
In addition to the bargains above, during the Christmas season we will be running sales on metal art by Eli, paintings by Svetlana, Meteorites, and even 19th century tools. Some may question giving tools as gifts, but they are collectible, attractive, and give a masculine aura to an office space without treading on any politically sensitive areas.
We hope you will think of us as you compile your Christmas list. If anyone on your list appreciates the unique, original, or one-of-a-kind, we think we can help your search.
