but better late than never.

I met a fantastic woman before the holidays. Her name....Sue Muller.

She and her lovely daughter were stranded at Charlotte Douglas International Airport due to weather. The two of them patiently passed the time knitting gloves while waiting for the next available flight out.

I recall noticing (immediately) the crimson colored fingerless gloves that Sue had been wearing. They truly were the most charming pair of gloves I'd seen in a long time and I made sure to let her know. She began to tell me how she herself handcrafted the gloves and how she wondered if they would actually sell.

This was the moment that I fell in love.

Not only with Sue's warmth, radiance, and sincerity, but with her cleverly handmade pieces of art.

I bought the pair she was wearing right there on the spot.

( so the answer is yes. they can and will sell. )

This entry is especially important to me because I enjoy highlighting the beauty and talent of others. I believe strongly in supporting women like Sue. You see, when you purchase something as simple as a pair of hand knit gloves from the hardworking single mom, or a painting from a struggling artist, maybe even a beer from your local watering hole -- you are actually making a statement. A proclamation that exclaims :

" I SUPPORT THE UNDERDOG ! "

If you've seen me wandering around Charlotte over the last few weeks you've most likely seen me rockin' these amazing little pieces of art. In fact, I can't seem to take them off.

Thank you Sue. i heart your gloves.

Please make this year the year you support local business.

happy twenty ten.

peace.

love.

&

good grub.

your pal,
