There is an old instinct that says you sweep the house clean before you let a new year into it.Brooms have always carried that job. They were given as housewarming gifts and wedding gifts, laid down for couples to jump, set across doorways to keep out what was not welcome, and taken to the floors in the last days of the year to turn out everything the old one left behind.
A handmade broom is a tool and a blessing in the same object.
Come make your own from the ground up, just in time for Yule, with Janine from Boujee Broom Co. This is real broommaking, bristles bound to handle by your own hands, the way it has been done for generations.
