FOLKlabel: Private Selection

With much pride I get to announce the debut of FOLKlabel: Private Selection, the newest venture from FOLK!

Here at FOLK I take great pride in promoting the best in American artisans - within the pages of each issue we showcase artists, businesses, and people that represent the idea of sharing the American story.

The American artisans that are featured in our Holiday launch are located all across the U.S., ranging from candy makers to folk artists. This holiday season you will be able to purchase their products online, at the events we are attending, and in our soon-to-open retail store. (which I will talk about in a few days)

Today I wanted to take a moment to introduce the very talented group of artisans who have been selected as part of our Christmas selection. We are also offering a few products from these artisans for purchase today.

To order send me an email (editor.folk@gmail.com) and we will give you a total and get your package ready to ship to you.

Place-card holders/Photo stand

This set of 4, hand formed, vintage, silver-plate forks is designed to set off any table. Start the upcoming holiday and entertaining season off right with this small addition to your dining experiences.

Set include 4 forks, hand worked into place card or cheese label holders. Since these forks are vintage and reclaimed to be re-purposed, small oddities such as small scratches and differences in tarnish may add further character to the pieces. Set may include both dinner and salad forks.

Bracelet: $16.00 + shipping

Show your whimsy and culinary masterpieces while wearing this wonderful bracelet. A vintage silverplate spoon has been rolled flat and shaped into a wonderful bracelet.

This makes a curious piece to add to your collection of accessories. Pliable enough to bend and fit nearly any size wrist.

Because of the nature of vintage items, small scratches or wear will add further character to your piece. May not be the exact pattern shown, but just as beautiful.
