Best Places To Buy Homemade Gifts In New York
According to ancient folklore, Oriental rugs lovingly woven by hand always contained one slight mistake. This deliberate imperfection was a humble sign of respect to the universe, and an acknowledgement that human beings were, by definition, imperfect as well. We wonder what ancient rug-makers of yesterday would think of today’s perfection-driven artisans and crafters of home-made wares. The jewelry, glassware and hand-sewn apparel found at these emporiums of unapologetic beauty may push humility to the max. Imperfections? Maybe, but we dare you to find them. Here are some of the most charming and creative hand-made gifts you will find this side of a flying carpet.
