Many of my friends prefer fall to any other season and look forward to the cool, crisp air, gorgeous colors, and crunchy leaves underfoot. As a summer-lover myself, I get through the second half (the cold half) of fall by anticipating the warmth and laughter the Holidays always bring. That and my wood stove. As tradition in my family, we do a gift swap with the recipient drawn ahead of time. Although it is only one gift, there is a certain amount of pressure to get the perfect gift for your chosen person. Designing Women has bailed me out of embarrassment for several years. My search for the impossible person year after year always seems to end at a Designing Women Show. With the age of online shopping and far-reaching ad campaigns for the greatest new thing, it is great fun to be surprised by the ingenuity of a local artist/craftperson who created the perfect gift
with their hands.
