To the contrary, I think this careful craftsmanship, with a rustic style, has its own kind of appeal.
If you had time to sit around and make these, and sell them online, you might be surprised at the
exalted prices you could receive. The fact that they look hand-crafted is all to the good, not
a come-down. The thing is, you have to not sound the least bit apologetic, and suddenly others
will realize how good they look. Handmade equals highly desirable. My wife was a farm girl and
wore homemade clothes to school; her grandma was a seamstress. In New York City they call
that haut couture and the dresses cost about three grand. Perspective.
