Buy It Once, Make Sure It's Beautiful

I do consider myself creative and I do consider what I make to be art. It is also important to me that I am making something useful.

I think romantically about each board. The one I use at home, I do fondly. I am making my breakfast, starting my day. I am cooking dinner for my family. I am covering it with olives and canned fish and bringing it to the backyard to share with my friends. I think when I make and send these pieces out into the world they are serving the same function in you house.

Aside from the wood I use, I feel most inspired by 19th century French cutting boards. They have been in use for over 100 years, that is part of what makes them so beautiful. 

What I'm trying to say is I'm not making disposable products. 

I want these things to stay with you and serve purpose. 

And be beautiful.

It's Happening

This week I'm building my website! So very grateful to Sara Sanger for beautiful photographs, always.

You can get a sneak peak before Shop Party, you can even pick out something you like and avoid shipping by picking it up at Shop Party! If you see something you cant live without contact me, we can work together to make it yours! http://www.hendleyhardgoods.com/

In the mean time you can still purchase from Straw & Gold.

I SHOULD be up and running by Monday!
