Good Gourd!

These stunning gourd boxes are handmade in Peru, in a village of 50 families where gourd carving has been practiced for generations. They come to us from Lucuma Designs, a member of the Fair Trade Federation. There were so many lovely designs that it was hard to select just a couple to show you!

So if you want something out of the ordinary for storage of small items, here's something to consider.

  2. Jerri, thanks for commenting - now I know about McCoy cookie jars! (I don't know much about antiques, but I'm learning bit by bit.)
