Lovely Beadwork Lizards Are In!

These Lovely Lizards are especially made for us in Zimbabwe.

Their natural habitat is 1181 High Street, Armadale in Melbourne.

They are rare, and are not found anywhere else in Australia.

However, they are not endangered.

They eat almost nothing, and are happiest on your desk, shelf or even on the wall.

They are known to tolerate children and pets with equanimity.

In fact, it is very difficult to get them to move, once they are comfortably in place.

You can view them safely from here -

These Lizards are not known to mate, so you may have to buy two, if you want a larger family of pets.

Colourful, Versatile Kikois Are Here

 A Kikoi - what is that?

Take a leaf out of the Kenyan book, and get a Kikoi.

Use it as they do.

It's a sarong, a tablecloth, a throw, a shawl, a beach wrap, a picnic blanket... you name it.

And, as it's made of durable machine washable cotton, it will serve all these purposes for a very long time.

Have a look.

FAIR TRADE FORTNIGHT ENDS ON MAY 19

Still a fews days to go until the end of Fair Trade Fortnight.

It's a reminder to everyone to buy Fair Trade products.

Not just food or hand-crafts, but clothing, decor and more.

And not just this fortnight, but every day.

Next time you shop -

• Ask where the products are made
• Ask who gets the momey.
• Ask how much they are paid.

It may be no big deal in the shop, but it's a very big deal in parts of the world, where people do not have a voice.

 

May 12 is Mothers' Day - Part lll

Here is a wonderful example of a doll of the Ashante from Ghana, known as "Aku'aba".

There are many variations of this doll, both in size and appearance. However, all incorporate the disc-shaped head.

Many examples also display a post-like body, neck rings and attenuated arms.

The Ashante society is matrilineal, so succession is through the female line of the family. Surely a cause for Mothers' Day celebration.

Here is a selection -
