Yankee Craftsman

P1010598

In my quest to repair my lighting fixtures, I happened across the Yankee Craftsman in nearby Wayland.  It was as though I had stepped back in time when I walked through the door into their workshop.  It was so refreshing to step out of our "throw-away/disposable" world back to an era where craftsmanship was and still is appreciated.  I was mesmerized.  Gary, who has been working in his family business since he was six,  took the time to show me how to do my own rewiring.  I didn't have the time to walk into their barn that houses many unique lighting fixtures.  I hope to do that on my next visit when I pick up the parts for my lanterns.
