This Just In!

This just in—cotton scarves to add style to every occasion!  These block-printed scarves are hand-crafted in India and are truly one-of-a- kind. The scarves are made of 100% high quality cotton. For each scarf, the designer uses between 1 and 30 handmade print blocks, each of which takes two days to carve. Additionally, each three-meter block of cloth is stamped about 1000 times. With hand-stitched edging on each scarf and colorful, elegant designs, who can resist such a lovely, unique scarf?


Stop by soon to further accentuate your summer wardrobe with South American jewelry made from nuts and seeds! This jewelry is made from natural seeds that have been sustainably harvested from rainforests and lowlands in South America. Many of the nuts and seeds used in this jewelry are sun-dried for months, and then these organic materials are individually cut and hand-dyed, and finally assembled into necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Wear these accessories to your next social gathering and you'll receive endless compliments about these unusual finds!


We have new handbags for the summer months! Our sisal bags from Kenya come in many different colors and sizes. They are hand made by women of Kenya who take care of their homes and family, and find time to make these bags that take between two to three weeks to complete.


Our other collection of bags is made with grasses in Cambodia. These bags come in various styles, shapes, and patterns, and add pizazz to any outfit. The Cambodian bags are made by workers who receive $2-3 more than others who work in their country. These bags are helping to improve the lives of the people who make them.


Looking forward to seeing you in our Frederick store soon! 
  
 She couldn't stop dreaming about
the upcoming lazy summer days on the island.

He couldn't wait to see the way her eyes would light up
when she saw the fancy jewelry he bought her.

She was mystified about how well her new bag fit
with every piece of clothing in her wardrobe.

Sun hat?  Check.  Clutch?  Check.  Silk scarf?  Check.
This girl's ready for a night on the town!

She couldn't wait to bring all of her best friends
to see the amazing collection of bags in her new favorite store.
 
He looked around and saw colorful purses in all shapes and sizes
He instantly knew where he'd be going for her next birthday gift...
