Well, this weekend my piggy bank from Microplace arrived and I am obvious very excited. This little guy was hand crafted by Lucia Valdez at the Comparte workshop in Pomaire, Chile. I did a little sniffing around the Internet and found that you can in fact get your very own piglet at Ten Thousand Villages, which offers products from some thirty artisan groups from Africa, Asia, and Latin America.Frankly I have no idea what I did for Christmas gifts before I found this website. Where else are you going to find a bicycle gear picture frame? An alpaca/acrylic button cape? An owl gourd box? I couldn't find much out about them besides the information on their own website, although I did find this article. Anyway if you were wondering where to pick up that jacquard silk/pashmina scarf look no further.
