I haven't been here in a long while but got a nice surprise that I thought I'd share. I was away last weekend and when I checked my Facebook feed I found that the Society of North American Goldsmiths chose me for their maker profile of the week. When you work alone, as so many of us do, it's easy to think that no one appreciates your work or even sees it. This was a nice way to start a week that's focus is being thankful.
