This beautiful Saturday morning in Colorado I am doing some Christmas shopping. Where am I shopping? At Berea College of course. Some may know. Some may not know but a simple reminder that Berea College Crafts are made by students in The Commonwealth of Kentucky and proceeds support the little Appalachian college. Even though I grew up close to Monkey's Eyebrow, and have lived in Colorado for decades, I frequently give these crafts at Christmas. They are charming. I guarantee your mother will love any of them. Go to bereacollegecrafts.com

Did I mention they were made in Kentucky? I have no connection with Berea except as a consumer.
