Made Priceless H. L. Hix

Made Priceless presents snapshots of objects that their holders treasure: a 1950s swivel rocker, a fortune-cookie fortune that reads "The rubber bands are heading in the right direction" a marble with a world map painted on it, a bread-baking pan, a bar of soap, crocheted doilies, a masonry trowel? Each object has its own story, each its own meaning. The book's contributors include artists, a banker, a retired career military officer, secretaries, a pilot, stay-at-home mothers, students, professors, and others, each with a testament in praise of something priceless. The result is a remarkable collection that honors what money can't buy, and celebrates the extraordinary significance in an ordinary things.
