The Shipment from Mexico Made it!

I just received all the goodies that I purchased on my Patzcuaro, Mexico buying trip. They arrived crated and stacked 7 feet tall on a pallet... all 600 pounds of it. I quickly unloaded the fine crafts and art and started my inventory process. My biggest problem is that there are so many great things that I wanted to keep for myself! I may keep a few items, but I'm not in business to hoard all these masterful works. I am in business to get these into the hands of appreciative collectors while at the same time helping bolster the fortunes of the fine artists through a fair trade approach.

Every time I meet a new artist (regardless of the language barrier) I find this work so gratifying and fun. Every time I sell another of these great pieces of art I feel thankful that I have found my calling. Thanks to all of you who have been following World Neighbor's humble beginnings. I promise to make it an interesting ride!
