We have the rare opportunity as consumers to do something powerful with our money. We can cast aside impulse and boredom to buy things with intention. We can reward the crazy people who still care about how and where something is made. We can buy something with real value. When we do this we get rewarded twice. We buy something made with passion, determination, decades of knowledge and by doing so we support our community. We also get something of true quality that will last.
