Pewter Jewelry and Giftable Goods

Danfoth Pewter

Middlebury, Vermont

About Danfoth Pewter

Danforth Pewter’s history stretches all the way to 1775. For nearly a century, the Danforth family made pewter their lifeblood. But then, in the late 19th century, Chinese imports popularized cheap porcelain and glass, and pewter fell out of favor. The Danforth family’s pewter tradition came to a close in 1873… or so it seemed. In 1975, Fred Danforth decided that he would revive the business and apprenticed with artisans to restore his family’s tradition. Today, the company is on solid ground and offers oh so many giftable goods at a variety price-points, from holiday ornaments to photo frames to jewelry to keyrings — all made of timeless pewter handcrafted in Middlebury, Vt.

Dresses

Dare and Co.

Virginia

About Dare and Co.

When she founded her clothing company in 2016, Rebekah Murray set out to create the kind of dresses she so desperately wanted – clothing that was “timeless, feminine, and practical” and could be fully functional in her life as an ardent traveler and professional photographer. She’s achieved that with dresses that have the timeless elegance of vintage silhouettes without any of the fussiness. Even better, many of the company’s dresses boast pockets, a far too rare practicality in women’s clothing. Committed to ethically manufacturing clothing of the highest quality, Murray transitioned from production in Guatemala to Virginia, where she can bring a personal touch to every piece. Today, Dare & Co. has expanded to selling personalized gift boxes that contain imported items, but its line of dresses is still Made in USA.
