Haiti Crosses/Designs




Amazing story... A couple of years ago Debi and I got to see videos and pictures of these metal designs being made in Haiti. They are made out of 55-gallon steel drums, and it is incredible to see how quickly the men pound out the designs. This Fair Trade company helps an entire village make a living wage by creating these beautful works of art.

However, when the horrible earthquake hit Haiti, no one could reach the people in the village. We didn't know what had happened to them or if we would ever get any more of their products.

This January their booth was back! We were so happy to see them, and to get an update on the village. Several men had family members die in the quake, but none of the workers. They had many new designs and it was just great to be able to order more of them.

Our customers love these, both for their beauty and for the wonderful cause they help support. Many have asked if we would get more - now we can answer YES! Come in and see all the new designs they have done!

Sassy Clips

Sassy Clips are in!!! We have flowers, fleur de lis, peace signs and more...

Sassy Clips let you create your own embellished flipflops. Interchange the clips on your own shoes to match your outfit or mood. Use them on any brand including Havaianas, J. Crew, Old Navy, Payless, and Target.

So get your pedicure, grab your flipflops and slide these on. Make a fashion statement where ever you go!
