A part of me wishes that I was a foreign journalist, traveling to exotic lands to cover important stories such as war, political coups, refugee crises, etc. Textiles may not be a life or death subject matter BUT they do tell the story of a culture and through crafts development positive change/economic prosperity is possible. So, the moral of this little blurb is that it is my responsibility to share information because I can and because what we do affects more than aesthetics. I choose to start my business and work with global artisans for the human connection. Here's to sharing that connection to the best of my ability as my own kind of journalist:)

Lima. What a gem! This coastal city reminded me so much of California;
Santa Monica and Venice Beach to be exact. I loved the groms walking
through the city with their surfboards, bustling cafes, artisan markets,
Barranco (bohemian, colonial neighborhood), Ceviche, discovering Pisco
Sours, Christmas decorations in full effect a month after Christmas, and
the flowers...beyond.
