Planters
!
Summer is officially here, which for some of you is a relief from all the rain
and snow. For some of us in the South, it
is the beginning of 100 degree days. With
a little luck, all the lakes, rivers, and pools
will be bus this year.
I have
several new planters for you this year, and will
be looking for more when I head South in June.
I have
two new American jewelers for you as well.

As a
fair trade company, your purchases really do make
a difference in the lives of the many artists
we represent here. They set their own prices,
according to their needs, and we respect those
prices. As you can tell by the work found here,
and the quality, this is a winning combination.
The
year has started off with a bang, thanks to all
of you! What can I say?
Thank you SO much!

Need
a little patio privacy?
Tule
Screen
This
handwoven tule over metal screen is really a beautiful
sunroom divider or privacy screen on the patio.
Talavera Hippy Lizard
And
of course this lizard, loaded with personality,
will be happy to park on your patio and deliver
irrelevant commentary (or is that irreverant commentary)
on the goings on around him, if asked.
I
have updated the collection of black clay pottery
from Mexico with 30 new pieces, which are really
elegant and one of a kind, while being extraordinarily
well-priced. The Mateos family is quite
famous in Mexico, but virtually unknown here.
If you want to prove to one-and-all that you have
exquisit taste, this is the gift I recommend,
for someone special or for yourself.
 
for her for him
Be sure to check out
cotton clothing for women AND men. I have
also added some embroidered dresses for children.
There are new blouses with LOTS of embroidery,
headpieces, and belts for a fresh look. I recently
added some wonderful new organic jewelry, made
with seeds, pods, and stones like agate, jasper
and quartz, to finish that breezy lightweight
cotton look. The blouses are also super-nostalgia
gifts.
I
have also added a whole new line of casual cotton
for comfortable everyday wash and wear.
It is 100% natural cotton which gets softer every
time you wash it.
The
deer are now starting to lighten up. With all
the rain they have lots of food and are looking
chubby - although I expect a few are pregnant,
which means the spotted babies will start showing
up soon. The raccoon family was relocated
to a lake out in the country. They had found the
cat doors, and THAT is an aroma that needs to
stay outside.
Our
porcupine is back, and seems to have found the
vitamin and mineral-laden deer lick I put out
(it smells a lot like fresh berries)
.
. . MUCH to the chagrin of the deer
who are NOT attempting
to approach.
It has
been a wet beginning to summer this year, but
the
cicadas
in all their lime-green glory are having a rock
concert in the backyard. I keep waiting
for the lime-green lizards to find them.
I miss those bright-red air-filled throats.
I can't imagine living in any other way!
