Thank you for Animal Help

We put a little can to help out a pooch in need and in just 2 weeks Earth Alley customers left $18.00 I was amazed at people's generosity. I mean August is one of the slowest months and still...Baltimore's ASPCA and Earth Alley thank all of you for helping!

OK this isn't an ASPCA animal but my little 17 pound cat who thinks he's a dog sometimes. We don't think of him as a rescue not after 13 years - he'd pee on my shoes if I did... and you think I am kidding.

Shopping for South American Products was Crazy Fun!

Wow, just back 2 weeks from Otavalo, Ecuador and I am so pleased with customer's reaction to South American items I picked. I was so concerned with native Tagua seed jewelery, aka vegetable ivory, because of its boldness in color and actual size but women have been loving it. As well, the Peruvian flutes and silver have been greeted warmly. All and all, it was great!

Otavalo - More Colors than a Rainbow

Otavalo, Ecuador boasts the largest open-air indigenous market in South America. My friend Sara and I had a great time though we suffered from the altitude but what is being in another country without being a little woozy. Otavalo didn't let us down!

on my way to Quito & Otavalo, Equador. Nervous & excited all at the same time. Otavalo boasts the largest open-air market in South America. Have I really not been to South America in over a decade when I won a fellowship to Curitiba, Brazil? Well, it's time to be blown away again - South American style.

Women & Chocolate event with On Purpose Networking for Women, Ma Petite Shoe, Burnie's Bakery, and Truffles by Emily was a great success! Thank you all! Networking with friends was wonderful, the chocolates were perfect, the baked goods were amazing, and the truffles were addicting. Without all of you, last night wouldn't have been a big hit!

Here are some photos of last night!

Bird Bath Transformation!

So I was working on a completely bare metallic bird bath with no adornments or anything. With some broken up tiles (which you can do placing colorful tiles in a pillowcase and throwing them on the ground, hand clasped firmly on the end of the pillowcase obviously) I used a special glue and made my very own "colorful and interesting" bird bath!
