Liberty Hardware of Winston-Salem, N.C., is best known for mass-produced cabinet knobs, pulls and hooks that are carried by major retailers. But for its latest collection, called HomeGrown Hardware, the company has joined with artisans on a range of items like <a href="http://www.womenfashionbag.com/nylon-pocket-tote-p-19255.html"><strong>shoes and hats</strong></a> the iron rings pictured. &ldquo;We <a href="http://www.womenfashionbag.com/gucci-joy-medium-shoulder-bag-light-brown-guccissima-leather-p-19919.html"><strong>chanel premiere</strong></a> noticed a lot of people were into the buy-local movement, and that there was a big handmade movement with Etsy,&rdquo; the online marketplace, said Amy Tagle, a Liberty manager. Liberty worked with three artisans &mdash; Tammy Newhof, a glassworker in Grand Rapids, Mich.; Sue Salvaterra Hintz, a potter in Weaverville, N.C.; and Matt Waldrop, a metalworker in Zirconia, N.C. For now, the products are available at select Home Depot <a href="http://www.womenfashionbag.com/lv-monogram-multicolore-courtney-mm-black-p-19112.html"><strong>handbags and purse</strong></a> stores and online at homedepot.com from about 10 each.
