Isn't this lovely?! The colour and texture grabbed my eye as soon as I saw it. Hand made from end grain mesquite, this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61427793/mesquite-cutting-board-round-with-forged" target="_blank">Mesquite Cutting Board Round With Forged Hoops</a> has stainless steel hoops driven in at a 10 degree angle to prevent the board from splitting, and since it was crafted by a retired aerospace engineer I'm pretty sure it will last a lifetime! Jack, the talented artisan behind <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MesquiteForge" target="_blank">Mequite Forge and Cooperage</a>, says he has always had a love of wood and metalworking. He is a cooper as well, a craft steeped in history and I am so pleased to see someone upholding that wonderful handmade tradition. Please be sure to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MesquiteForge" target="_blank">check out his Etsy shop</a>, he's been dabbling in blacksmithing as well, I'd say he is a true Renaissance man!<br />

One day, I'll be able to make beauties like these!<br />

Today was one of those days when I signed in and saw this amazing <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64172708/vermont-sap-bucket-hanging-lamp" target="_blank">Vermont Sap Bucket Hanging Lamp</a> by Nathan Spaulding of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Spauldingswoodwork" target="_blank">Spaulding's Woodworking</a> in Vermont.<br />

<br />
I love it! Can't you see it hanging over your antique table or over the island in your country kitchen? Nathan says that he made it from 100 year old sap buckets and a piece of timber that was milled in a water powered sawmill over 150 years ago. $250.00 + shipping for a handcrafted piece of history, sounds like a deal to me!<br />

For how long? I have no idea. It may be permanently.<br />
<br />
For artisan spotlights, you can find them usually twice a week at <a href="http://screamingsardine.net/">Screaming Sardine</a>. Some of the interviews also have giveaways to go along with them. This month, I'm also highlighting handmade Halloween items for sale from many shops on Etsy. If you'd like to be included, leave a comment here. I'm a big proponent for handmade, and it is my hope that the larger audience at <a href="http://screamingsardine.net/">Screaming Sardine</a> will reach a wider audience in the handmade community.<br />

I first discovered Donna's shop when I did a "pounced" treasury at Etsy several months ago. I was searching shops that had not yet had a sale when I came across her lovely garden shop. I love her nature inspired floral creations and her topiary 'JOY' series above particularly caught my eye. Each topiary measures about 13" high and this elegant, one of a kind floral design could easily be displayed any season of the year. I can just see those lovely topiaries nestled in some white twinkle lights on your mantle for the coming Christmas season! $40.00 + shipping, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73556695/set-of-three-joy-topiaries" target="_blank">click here</a> or click the picture above to visit this listing and be sure to check out the other lovely floral inspired items in <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/DonnasGardenShop" target="_blank">Donna's shop</a>!<br />
