When Philip II ascended the throne in 359 BC, Macedonia was in danger of being engulfed by wild barbarian tribes to the north and wily Greek cities to the south. Philip had to expand the power of the throne or be swallowed up: the creation of a powerful army was imperative. When his son, Alexander, inherited his kingdom at the age of 20, he also inherited an army which was truly unrivalled. The Macedonians were veterans of battle, well equipped and eager for conquest.

We would like to welcome our newest store to the site, Stillwater Porcelain. Pat Pyott has been producing these fantastic porcelain relief tiles and dishes for many years and I first noticed these at the many local restaurants that use her plates and dishes. I was so taken by the designs and quality that I had to find out for myself who was making these and we are really excited to offer her products here at Shop Local Products. Check out this exciting line of porcelain ware.
