Artisanal items in the gift shop at Monticello

There are pens, bowls, vases and jewelry made by MISH, that are made from a tulip poplar that Jefferson planted next to Monticello. The tree became a hazard to the house and had to come down, a number of craftsmen are making the objects, here.

Support young artists & buy original art, like one of our favorites, Wayne Pate, here.

A year of flowers from New York designer Zeze or the florist of your choice.

No matter what is on your List to Give or Recieve, make sure you share some of your time, visit with family, friends, the elderly. We need to reach out and let others know we care. 

There is no Gift like the GIft of Self. Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night.
