ten thousand villages

last week i received two beautiful gifts from two wonderful friends.   

i had never heard of ten thousand villages before, but i am so impressed with these gifts i want to learn so much more.  ten thousand villages is a fair trade organization helping artists from other countries receive a fair wage for their creations. 

my friend jessie gave me this little heart, hand carved with love

a red woven garland--i wish you could see the full detail--i cant even imagine how long these took to create.

 so beautiful for the holidays--i love it so much!!
