ShakerBoxes
Hand-crafted shaker storage boxes, made by woodworker Brent Rourke, are my pick for original Christmas presents this year. I visited his shop (a beautiful old barn) when I was last in range and was very impressed with the detailed work on these thin and elegant containers. You can use them to store seeds, photographs, ribbons, whatever you like. And I think they'd made a perfect gift box for shortbread cookies. They are lovely to display and very useful. To read all about the boxes, see Brent's site at www.shakerboxesnb.com.
(You may be seeing Brent on my picks page again, because I have just commissioned him to build me a dining room table. I was fed up with all the cardboard masquerading as furniture I kept seeing in shops, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. Why buy disposible furniture when, for the same price, you can get yourself an heirloom! I'll be sure to show it off as soon as it's ready!)
