HANDCRAFTED WITH LOVE
Please help us get this small, woman-operated business, off the ground. Cassandra Taylor is now 71 years old and started Blacksmithing in the late 1970s to make gear for primitive camping. She was involved with a historical re-enactment group and attended Rendezvous, where she sold many handmade items. She now makes her blacksmith art in the historic Mississippi River town of Kimmswick Missouri. Be sure to check her Etsy Store "CatsForge" to see more items including pendants, and many decorative hand-made forged items.
