Greetings,

Join me on a journey of

discovery where all around

the world everyone is Irish

for at least one day!

Perhaps I possess the luck of

the four-leaf clover, but I

consider myself not lucky so

much as blessed. Thank you for

allowing me to be your guide as

together we meet artisans who

still craft objects uno alla volta

(one at a time), leaving behind

a bit of their spirit in each work

of their hands.

I hope the blessings in your

life are too numerous to count.

Happy St.

Patrick’s Day,

Greetings,

Mothers and daughters. A relationship

of countless emotions, and yet through it

all there remains an unbreakable bond.

My mother has taught me the single

most important lesson of my life – that

life is fundamentally about the human

spirit and the human connection. In

building Uno Alla Volta as a tribute to

these two principles, I suppose it is really

a tribute to you, Mom!

Happy Mother’s Day!

A. Solid Wood Dream Keeper Box “All men of action are dreamers”

Our wooden treasure box is handcrafted from American cherry wood by our North Carolina artist, a former banker who left his career to immerse himself in his craft. The warmth of the polished wood offers Dad a special place to store treasures and keepsakes from his journeys. Suede lining. 21/4" x 7" x 33/4". UAH02-010 $89

C. Give Dad A Tie He’ll Use Every Day!From her Pocono mountain studio, our potter handcrafts a mug which is certain to make Dad chuckle every time he drinks from it.

She fi res the completed piece, glazes it and then fi res again – no two mugs are exactly alike. Microwave and dishwasher safe. Approx. 5" high and holds 16 oz.

Greetings,

As my oldest daughter graduates high

school and prepares for college, my

father serves as an ever-inspiring

presence in her life (and mine!).

So, at this time of celebrating the

“grads and Dads” in life, I have extra

reason to pause and take stock of life’s

numerous blessings.

As brief as our time on this earth may

be, we each have an opportunity to

make a lasting impact.

Nearly every Uno Alla Volta artisan

has told me that his or her inspira-

tion comes from knowing that each

work of her hands captures a bit of

her spirit, and consequently may put a

smile on the face of someone she will

probably never meet. If one day her

creation is passed to future genera-

tions, she just may touch in nity.

In each issue of the Uno Alla Volta catalog, I use the founder’s letter as an opportunity to tell the story of our brand, while at the same time sharing a bit of my personal philosophy and my life with my customers.

Here are three recent examples selected from the spring of this year.
