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

Juan's Birthday

It was Juan's 8th Birthday last week, i was fortunate to be there to share the festivities with the family, we bought a huge box of assorted biscuits and had hot chocolate as well, you can see we had fun hanging in the local square.

MAMACITA

My favourite Guatemalan, a very very old woman, i think about at home sometimes and wonder if she will still be out selling on the streets as she has done for years and years, thankfully i bumped into her the other day and had a moment to say hello!

ROBBERS - LADRÕNS

ROBBERS;: So if there was someone in your town robbing everyone would you as a community band together and take action? This is what we faced on Sunday as we travelled thru Guatemala, a road block in a Town as the whole town shamed the Robber and burnt his house down, an Eye for an Eye, tonight i heard of other atrocities as the public take action. Unable to find a way to stop thinking if this direct action is the solution i throw it open to you!

BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE

Foot Pedal Loomed,
100% Wool Shawls to keep out the cold, very hard to find at this time of the year in Mexico as it rains a lot and the Sheep are too wet to shear, the production of these wares is more common in Nov, Dec, Jan when Winter is in full swing in Mexico and drier.

Thanks to a nudge from a valuable client i have some stock to bring back for August delivery. Can you stay warm till then??
