I recently bought a birthday gift for a friend from a mall store. I took it home and disliked it immediately. It was impersonal, nothing special. It occurred to me that if the gift didn’t delight me it probably wouldn’t delight my friend. I returned the gift to the mall store, and picked out something unique and thoughtful from a small neighborhood shop. I loved it and knew that my friend would, too. The gift was a truer reflection of her interests and preferences.Avoid the cookie cutter, anonymous gift routine this year – support your local artisans. One of my favorite artisans is my friend Lynda Black. She has crafted a collection of colorful bracelets that make a statement without being gaudy. They are not baubles, not mere trinkets. Each one is flower bed-pretty and encircles your wrist in an eye-catching kaleidoscope.
So, roll up your sleeves – you will want one of these handmade pieces. Your inner gypsy will thank you. For more information, contact Lynda through her blog, http://www.time4grace.blogspot.com.

We totally concur, Lynda. It's time that people got back to some basics. Your idea is so much more human oriented thatn corporate oriented.
