I love what you are doing. I can feel good about purchasing from you knowing the artists are paid fairly, treated with dignity and respect, and recognized for their skill. I prefer to decorate with items that are hand made with care as opposed to mass-produced. And knowing that you travel to these locations and work directly with the artists will make it even more special to display one of the beautiful pieces in my home. Thanks again! Misty
Your baskets are beautiful and of very high quality. I get many compliments on the baskets I have purchased when visitors come to my home. Thank you again for your help and kindness! Elizabeth
