“I want to share with you a special moment from the Yankee Peddler Festival. Ammy was presented with the 2006 Bill Sailing Award for Excellence in Craftsmanship. She joins a long list of Yankee Peddler’s who have been recognized over the years. Ammy found this to be a very humbling experience, as there are so many great artist and craftsman exhibiting at this event.
As for myself, I was not surprised. After all, I once was a creative place in her mind. You see I know what’s coming. But, was I impressed? Yes, yes, yes! A lot of time and effort goes into sculpting. There is joy when things go right and despair when disaster strikes. So it was particularly satisfying to see her receive this award.
Ammy’s specially designed "Brotherhood of Stone" is a planter composed of 11 hand crafted sculptures each having it’s own expression.
I must thank our customer’s, Ammy’s family, friends, and fellow artisans for their support and encouragement over the years.”
