Holiday Give Away

Here it is a made by me ash bark basket with hickory lacing. It will come with instructions to add your own handles/strap. You can chose to make it a backpack or a shoulder strap or a wall basket. Use your favorite ribbon or webbing and it will become a favorite basket.



In the photo the basket looks a little lonely. It was so dark and dreary yesterday that I didn't get to photographing a few of the backpacks I have. Inside the basket you will also find a few surprizes!

If you are interested in winning this basket please leave me a note (in comments) telling me about your favorite holiday ornament. Although I have lived on a Christmas Tree farm for 8 years!! This is the first year we are getting a tree-the reason being we are usually away in Europe visiting my family for most of Dec. This year thankfully we have decided to stay home. I cannot tell you how happy this decision has made me! So yesterday I was talking to Z about our Solstice Tree......She said " I have a good idea mum lets make it a gnome home and woodland tree"

***UPDATE****
I forgot to mention that I will pick the winner on Dec 2nd!! Now you have it



Great idea Z! Now let me get planning!

I am excited to be participating in this Cloth Napkin Swap over at Down To Earth Blog

I was inspired by her "tool of a revolutionary" post, (check her Wed Sept 12) post to see what these are....... which leads to this weeks environmental pledge... NO MORE BUYING TEA IN TEA BAGS! I will use up what I have and continue to only buy loose leaf tea!

From India with love....

So this package arrived for us last tuesday from an old friend. It was mailed in perfectly sewn canvas.......so beautiful a package that it was hard to open. Kind of like that present that is wrapped in beautiful paper.......a work of art.

It was filled with little Tsunamika. What a joy to receive. Tsunamika is always gifted, never sold.



A living symbol
She is a symbol, a living symbol with her own life.

As her name suggests, she is a child of tsunami;
The tsunami that changed the lives of millions.
She is the memory of Tsunami...

She has been hand-made by women,
The women who live by the ocean,
The women whose lives changed forever after the tsunami,
The women who are exploring a new way of living,
The women who are empowering themselves.
Tsunamika is an expression of their creative fire;
Through Tsunamika they enter a new & wider world.

She is made out of bits and pieces of cloth
Left over from other works;
Made from what is known as waste.
There is nothing called waste in Nature,
Everything has its creative role.
Everything can be living & beautiful,
As Tsunamika is …

She is a living message,
A message of a new way of living
In which Life is respected.
A message of the Oneness of Life
In which love has a place.
A message of the sacredness of life
In which we can celebrate, together.

And life can be very simple
Like Tsunamika is.
She is our beloved.
She has touched many lives.
Now, she is here.
With you!

Tsunamika
Born in Auroville

What a great idea!

And look at this great paper. Sorry not a great close up photo but I wanted you to see it.



Also today one of my apprentices brought gifts for us all.....cough drops presented beautifully in the little bag. So well made and yummy! I have never actually made hard cough lozengers just slippery elm and honey ones.





Other news we have began our travels. We left home yesterday and are spending the weekend in Rosemont, NJ with dear friends before flying out to Greece for three weeks.
