Bolivian Jute and Burlap Animals
These "Crazy Birds" are crafted from burlap and jute in Bolivia, and are as cute as can be.
They're great as a computer or desk ornament. They're not, however, toys for young children.
Add a conversation piece to your office area - you can't help but smile when you see them! |

Hand-Carved Soapstone from Kenya, Africa
Soapstone Hearts - second quality
Some of the soapstone hearts from our last shipment were not up to our
quality standards, so we're offering them at a 25% discount. They may have just a small scratch, or the minerals
from the natural stone are showing through, or there may be some smudges. Generally speaking, at least one side is in good shape
and the other side can be the down side. For example, the Red Speckled example shown (left) has the worse side showing - there
are fewer smudges on the other side.
Shown here are the Pink Flowers (sorry - sold out), Red Speckled (available in Large) and the
Tribal Split Heart (available in Large and Small). These are representative examples of the types of imperfections these clearance
items will have.

Loofah from Ecuador
We know that you can buy loofah products from large manufacturers, but when you buy these
products, you'll be helping to save our rainforests.
What is Loofah?
Look at the photo on the right, and you'll see
a vegetable that looks like a very large zucchini - that's loofah.
The vegetable is stomped or smashed and put into a vat of water to soak.
Then workers shake the pulp out, creating loofah as we know it (what the man is holding).
The Loofah Project is a social and environmental improvement project designed to preserve Rainforests at the
bottom of the Andes mountains in Ecuador.
This project provides alternative incomes for farmers to reduce their economic incentive for
selling wood from the rainforests.
Unique and imaginative uses of this natural vegetable fiber! Flaps are held closed with a generous piece of Velcro.

Indonesian Kitchen Utensils
Palms are an abundant plant resource, supplying food, drink, oil, fuel, handicrafts, clothing, cosmetics and building materials.
When the trees age and are no longer able to provide other resources, they are harvested for wood.
These attractive products are crafted in Indonesia out of a
conscious concern for both the environment and Indonesian peoples.

For most of these shadowboxes, we only have 1 left.
We've reduced the price slightly, but you'll receive additional savings since we will
only be charging our normal shipping amount based upon purchase amount (see table below). Previously we would
calculate the shipping amount based upon the weight of the shadowbox and all the packaging required.

Glass Bead Chokers from Guatemala
Creating this bead work jewelry has revolutionized the lives of women and young girls
in Guatemala's Highland village, Santiago Atitlán.
Most Mayan families work in agriculture and live in small villages.
They own or rent tiny plots of land on which they raise food for themselves, and possibly enough additional to
sell for cash income.
But most plots are too small to sustain a family.
The women artisans make glass bead products with the support of MayaWorks, a non-profit
volunteer organization.
MayaWorks believes that an educated woman brings stability to her family and hope to her community.
