Shop Handmade From 50 Makers, One in Every State

Floridian Lin Glore crafted this custom stained-glass panel from vintage 1940′s Waterford Waffle dishes. The beautiful piece hangs in the Zen loft of DIY Network’s Blog Cabin 2015.

Working as the Design Coordinator for DIY Network’s Blog Cabin 2015 was a truly magical experience. Along with my best buddy, Project Manager Dylan Eastman, we were able to see this cabin’s creation from the ground up. The building itself is so beautiful, when it came time to fill it with home décor, we knew we had to find some special pieces.

Those who know Dylan or me know — we would have made every object in the house if we had the time. But with the sweepstakes set to end in mid-September, we just wouldn’t have had the time. So we did the next best thing. As a lover of all things handmade, I was able to locate one craftsman in each and every one of the 50 U.S. states and ask them to send us some very unique pieces for the cabin. I’m happy to report each of them sent something so incredible, we knew everyone needed to check them out.

So whether you’re early Christmas and Hanukkah shopping, looking for stuff for your own home or you’re just want to shop for things from this year’s Blog Cabin, I’d highly recommend that you take a look at this inspiring list of artists below. Find the one a gift made in your home state or in a state you love and it will mean that much more to you. Best of all, you’ll know that you’re getting something well-made from someone who cares very much about the quality of their products.
