A few years ago I had a Glass Butter Dish on my Christmas list. My wonderful sister purchased one for me, a white one. No more than 30days after opening the gift my husband opened the refrigerator and broke it. I can't say for sure but my guess is it was not made in the USA.
This year my sister was able to replace the broken butter dish with a beautiful unique one of a kind piece purchased while she was on vacation in Asheville, NC. She visited the Appalachian Craft Center . It was so unexpected, not only the thought that she remembered the broken one from years past, but also that she found one that was made in the USA by the hands of a local artist.
I guess my lesson from this is so often we look at the gift lists for Christmas, Anniversary, Birthday and say oh she wants a butter dish lets run to the Big Box Store, because it is easier. My sister thought ahead and as she enjoyed her vacation she supported a local artist. THANKS SIS
