Wool and silk hats are here. We now have warm hats in a beautiful assortment of colors and styles. Cool days and even colder nights are upon us. A hat is sure way to keep your body warm.

Come explore Three Rivers and drop by the dome to meet the artists. We will also have snacks and chai.

We will also be having a "no sales tax" sale on December 5. When you make a purchase and mention our blog we will take the tax off the tag. This offer is good for one purchase per person.

Metal, Silk and Tulle

We are excited about our newest additions to the shop. Recycled metal art works from Beyond Borders and Silk scarves and pouches. Tulle tutus are ready to be given to any little girl for the holidays.

Recycled oil drums are the beginnings of the the metal art work that hangs around the dome walls. Artisans from Haiti create these metal works with simple tools. Gardens, outside fences and home interiors look beautiful decorated with these traditional folk art pieces.

Silk scarves have arrived from northern India. They are beautifully printed and full of vibrant colors. They are the perfect soft scarf to tie around your neck or layer with a jacket. We also have silk pouches that are delicately embroidered.

Tulle tutus are the perfect gift for the little girl that loves to dress up. They are a full tutu made with soft tulle. Each tutu is filled with silk flowers and embellished with a satin ribbon. This is a gift that enhances playtime and lets their imagination blossom. They are handmade by Yasoda Perry.

Dasi Designs

We are very excited to introduce a new line of jewelery. Dasi Designs are the creations of Amrita Sullivan. Each piece is superbly crafted and features a wide variety of semi precious stones, fresh water pearls, crystals, glass and silver. The jewelery varies in theme from earthy to whimsical. Each piece is unique and reasonably priced. Come visit the shop on November 7, 2009 to see the entire collection.
