Ok, so as you know by now I hit the American Craft Council show last week. I love wandering the aisles and seeing what captures my attention. There is a lot of great stuff and, well, stuff that really isn't my taste. Here are my Top 17 picks—I starred the local folk—from the show, in no particular order. —JED
