October is my favorite month of the year. The fireplaces light up and thoughts turn to warm coffee, toasty blankets and a good book by the hearth. We've got all that and more in store for you with this month's My Maker Box. Did you miss out? Not to worry, I'll tell you how not to make that mistake again in a minute. For now, have a look at the awesome handmade goodness from across America!

I told you earlier this month that
handmade is the new American manufacturing. This box (and, well, all of our boxes) prove it in spades. Here's what is landing on front doorsteps nationwide this week!
By the way, can you believe that My Maker Box is just $39.97 a month? Insane, I know …
