Are beautiful things still made?

Are beautiful things still made?

sure are, my beautiful thing was made several years ago, and I'm so glad she said "yes" when I proposed.

Sorry - couldn't resist..

but truth be told, it's up to us to make beautiful things, but I myself have to use cheaper materials (typically brass, copper, etc)
