Huichol Love from us to you XXXX

Our last Huichol necklaces…………Alas

This week i have had the opportunity to re-learn some Portuguese.
Due to an enquiry from Brazil @barblacerda_

Of course we have a website,,, was my response, but those who don't know we have been trading in this glorious merchandise for over 17 years don't know that!! We love to be challenged, but it took till Friday before i could brake the code, time to catch up and see to those things that hold u up and make you wonder????  These beauties are $140AUD or $130USA and one of a kind.

Thanks to Google Translate, i was able to say exactly what i wanted, gracias a diosxxxx

My adoration of things made by hand ethically, goes way back as you all know, we are passionate about empowering women and wearing things that are REAL things that have SOULS made from NATURAL FIBRES and FULL OF LOVE.

Grateful to have this as part of my heart and soul we continue to "Keep it Real" not greenwashing, just as it comes, and glad to answer in any language,,, so we can all grow together……….

Website Updating Today

Please forgive me for it appears to years since i last wrote, …………...

It appears that life and work have overlooked Blogging., one seems to get out of practice when not doing things regularly.

I'd like to start with a reorientation for myself and a future library of news and pictures to share with you.

Today we have been collecting all our beautiful Wall Art and preparing for the shoot and update of our Website.

At one moment my desk was covered with all the divine Wall Art that individual Artisans make that we collect from all over Central and South America………….

The Hand Painted Tin pieces that Lux has been making for us for a decade now, the Pewter Virgin of Guadalupe on a stand here complimented by a huge Filigree Cross, theres small Virgins as well for you to hang to take care of your Home, Heart, Family and Business.

I never tire of finding unique and different products to share with you, we love our job so very much.

Mother Nature - Earth Mother

I met this wonderful woman in the street last week, she was selling seeds to sow, gourds to use for everything in the home, muzzles for your sheep and put on a wonderful display of spinning wool, so much so i bought the long spindle that has become a dangerous object in my luggage and i am wondering when customs will say NO! — with Pen Pen Durston.

Beautiful Plastic Table Cloths

Who would have thought that 10 years ago it would be possible to find plastic table cloths you'd love to have!

When in the early 90's as i began to travel to Latin America, i saw them here and there, even bought back some cheap and nasty knock offs from Solomon Islands in the mid 90's.

But hit the jackpot when we finally came across the source and began to import the Mexican Oil cloth in the late 90's, these days we are well known for our never ending variety and eclectic designs, in fact its terrible when we go for stock and orders are unable to be filled as "the factory is closed for holidays" or  "they are not making them anymore" which sometimes is really not the case, just another white lie to fill an empty space and hopefully placate a distressed client!

At Mullumbimby Farmers Market they have our Printed Plastic Table cloths on the common tables on Fridays and New Brighton Farmers market on Tuesdays.

Here are some examples of these, the beautiful show-grounds this market is held on looking in the distance to Mt Chincogan the stalls full of locally baked, made and grown produce its a delight to visit such a market.

You can find these and many more examples of these at our Victorian retailers, After Store, Ballyhoo Art, Urban Jungle and Aireys inlet Foodstore.

In NSW they are for sale at Fratelli Fresh, Red Ginger and Secondhand Rose.

See our FB page for insights and stockists tooooooo!

Do You Know Why I LOVE My Job So Much??

A customer from two years ago visiting Byron this week wants a 3rd Dress, Hand Embroidered, Hand Sewn. she wears the other two all the time and wants a 3rd for when the others are indisposed. We talked of how at the time she thought it was a lot to spend but she has washed and worn them constantly and found that other garments from elsewhere have not lasted as long. I am glad as i can visit Phillipe who makes them again and support her and know my choice to provide well made products, made with love is appreciated.

OTOMNI BED SPREADS

This Lady and others take 3 months to embroider this Double Bed Spread. 

I have dealt with her family for over 10 years now, her husband and i have a good working relationship, however when an order i received whilst away from a scammer became apparent and i had made them and their friends work overtime for 10 days i had nothing to do but buy the stock, explain how sorry i was to have made them work so hard and remember, until the moneys in your account its not a sale. It appears this scammer has a very big reputation all over the world!! Still time to enjoy the beauty of these original worksx
