Unlike the knots made to hold weight, a bow is delightfully non-load-bearing. Its purpose is not necessity, but beauty. It gathers, adorns, finishes, and transforms. We find bows everywhere: tied around letters and parcels, woven through hair, carved into furniture and architecture, painted into portraits, embroidered onto clothing, and tucked into the decorative arts of cultures around the world. Across centuries, we have continued to make this little gesture for no reason more practical than the desire to make something lovely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach seal comes in a gift box with a sample set of three wax sticks alongside a letter from Kathryn and a link to her introductory course. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscover the wax seal collection by Kathryn Hastings \u0026amp; Co., bringing together considered design and traditional craftsmanship.
