My students love the gecko that I put on the wall near the alphabet! Very colorful!
The round pottery serving dish is simple & elegant! Love supporting the artisans in Ukraine!
I had been wondering what to do with my larger/dangly earrings, as they were piling up in my drawer. I happened upon Ethical Trade Co as Manuel was opening up the store. When I saw this Haitian Tree of Life I immediately thought about hanging my earrings on it, and it worked out lovely!
This is a very cool ornament. My wife loves cranes and this looks good on the tree. The paint is beautiful and the ornament is sturdy.
This bag is stunning! I got it in the blue/turquoise and I just love it. The inside is well appointed with pockets and separators to neatly store all of your daily or travel needs.
I take this thing everywhere and love it!
