“From the time he started his own workshop in the 1960s, Alan [Peters] worked long and hard to prove that one could still earn a living in the contemporary world by building useful, beautiful furniture with integrity, one piece at a time, and he prided himself on making furniture that was priced within reach of working people like himself.” – Peter Korn

WAITING FOR SPRING!

Long time no post!  It isn't that we haven't been busy, but me, the "blog girl" is way behind posting!  

So here we are again waiting for spring.  It's not "in the air" yet! 

 Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln

 

The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power. ~Daniel Webster

Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. ~Woodrow Wilson

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
~Lee Greenwood
