Local broom maker?

[genevra-mcneil.livejournal.com]

This may be totally off-the-wall but I'm looking to buy a handmade broom and would prefer to buy one locally. Does anyone know of a local(ish) broom maker? I have a car and am willing to drive quite a ways -- an hour or so -- so you could define "locally" in a very broad sense. All the online places seem to be out of Kentucky or N.C.

Out of curiosity, is this for a wedding?

No, though that's the most obvious reason. I have just decided that I want to fill my house with handmade things -- particularly useful objects that have been made with deliberation -- as opposed to factory-produced things. And I need a new broom.
