A Trip to East Aurora
by Kate Nixon For many of us, 2023 has continued to bring us opportunities for travel after years of…well…not being able to. We are quickly approaching the season where folks cash in their vacation days and leave the nest to travel. I, however, am a big believer in traveling in the off-months; I’d much rather travel either in March or September than get caught in in a Spring break or Summer crowd.

We are currently in the process of collecting, organizing, identifying and displaying on this website as many Arts & Crafts shopmarks as possible. And like our Reference Library, we need your help. While we have documented the shopmarks of the major Arts & Crafts firms, we need for you to email us a photograph of any shopmarks you have from lesser known firms, along with a brief description of the piece.
Books Worth Reading
As both a collector and a researcher, I have often wished there was one site where every book ever written on the Arts & Crafts movement was listed. Now that place exists. Together we can compile on this website a list of every book of interest to Arts & Crafts collectors. All you have to do is pull some of the books off your bookshelf (go for the less obvious ones – and check below for duplicate entries) and email me the title, author, publisher and most recent copyright date. I will sort them by category and list them here so that anytime you or anyone else wants to research anything relating to the Arts & Crafts movement, you will start your search here.
