Walnut has always been a customer favorite at Polder’s Old World Market. Can’t blame them! It’s such a rich, dark tone… Hand carved Dreamware wears it beautifully. ✨

It’s always such a good feeling to wrap up work and close down the shop on Friday. We have so many orders ready to ship out next week, plus a bunch of gorgeous #dreamware pieces to photograph for the Autumn Collection (should be launching next week!). 🍁✨

Support American Makers @polderfamily 🇺🇸
A family in Florida set out to make everything. Handmade aprons. Candles. Jams and jellies, relishes, fresh baked bread. The whole old-world table, sold out of a booth at a farmer's market in Melrose. They were not yet sure what they were, only that they wanted to make things the way things used to be made. Then people kept picking up the wooden spoons. Not the bread. Not the aprons. The spoons. So the family bought a set of Swiss gouges and chisels, the good ones, and let the work choose them. That is usually how it goes. You set out in one direction and the thing you were actually meant to do reaches up and takes your hand. In 2011 they left a small patch of Florida for a hundred acres in Tennessee. In 2016 they moved again, to a larger farm in Virginia. Most families move toward cities and salaries. This one kept moving toward land and slowness, in the exact opposite direction of the century. The wood comes from hardwoods that fall on their own. Nothing is cut for it. A tree comes down in a storm and becomes a ladle, a scoop, a measuring cup, a serving board, shaped by hand and eye rather than by a machine that can do ten thousand identical ones by lunch. They call it dreamware. Kitchenware of your dreams, which sounds like marketing until you see the wait: twelve to sixteen weeks for a made-to-order piece. Four months. For an American made spoon. We live in a world built to deliver anything to your door by Thursday, and people are lining up to wait a third of a year for a wooden utensil made by a family on a Virginia farm. They are waiting because it is real, because a human being will hold it while making it, and because it comes with a promise that it will last a lifetime. That is the whole argument for the old way, in one object you can hold in your hand. The disposable version is always available. A drawer full of plastic that will outlive us in a landfill without ever being loved. Or a single carved spoon that a daughter takes from her mother's kitchen in forty years, worn smooth. That is not nostalgia, it's better. Take a look at their work in the comments below.

Have your 4th kid, but don’t stop there. Have your 13th kid. Better yet, let the Lord plan your family and accept every child he blesses you with. Children are the future! Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psalm 127:3 (This is our 2020 family photo with everyone except my oldest sis, who lives out of state).
Have your fourth kid. Go into debt if you have to
