Our merchants, Minetta, Julia, Marina,and Lesley, model our latest handcrafted hats.

You have heard me speak many times about how I have built Uno Alla Volta to be a tribute to creativity of the individual artisan, and to the uniqueness of each handcrafted treasure. Yet, our company also pays tribute to the power of a team. There’s nothing like bringing all these creative individuals – our artisans, our merchants, our photographers, our designers – together and watching the collaborative process unfold. We devote this issue to the springtime celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Passover, Mother’s Day…and let’s not forget the Kentucky Derby! Just as each item has been touched by the spirit of the artisan who created it, so too has it been touched by the spirit of every individual involved in the creative process. Terri

The Artistan Table Joins Uno Alla Volta

I’ll never forget my “Aha!” moment back in 2001.

Professional Cutlery Direct, my original entrepreneurial venture, was nearly ten years old, and things were going great. Yet, I knew deep within my gut that it wasn’t going to last in the age of the internet and big box stores.

If our company was to be something lasting, our products needed to be something special. I looked to PCD’s best products and best customers for inspiration, and discovered that my favorites,  French pocket knives and Polish Pottery – were also your favorites. What did they have in common? Each was individually handcrafted, often by someone I had met personally and whose story I could share with you. Out of this realization, Uno Alla Volta was born!

During those years, PCD continued to evolve until it became The Artisan Table. Today, The Artisan Table joins Uno Alla Volta.

We will serve you better by running uno (one) singular business rather than two.

Loving Another – The Ultimate Connection

14 Friday Feb 2014

Posted by artisanmoments in Stonycreek Brands

≈ Comments Off on Loving Another – The Ultimate Connection

Terri & Her Family

Mom, me, and sisters, Lisa and Bonnie,
enjoying each other’s company.

I will never forget the moment of becoming a mom for the first time and discovering the emotion of love for my daughter. Until I was a parent, no one could have described to me the feeling of love for one’s child. It was as different from the romantic love I have for my husband and partner in life as it was from my love for my parents or sisters.

Each form of love is unique, and there truly are no words to describe what we feel, but we know those feelings create a deep, often indestructible emotional bond.

I know my life is richer than I could have ever imagined because of those whom I love and those who love me.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Terri
