Karen

Librarian

I am a lifelong resident of the midwestern United States. I've been married for over 30 years to a wonderful man and have two adult sons. I am a former schoolteacher and currently work in the children's department of a large public library. My other interests are sewing, quilting, crocheting, photography and making beaded jewelry. Some day I plan to learn to paint in watercolor or acrylics. I also love the outdoors and enjoy camping and birdwatching. When not busy with my other hobbies I can be found curled up with my cat and a good book.

What I like most about Novica:

My favorite items to shop for are pottery and clothing items. I appreciate the high quality of the items I have purchased and enjoy the fact that I am helping the artisans make a living through their artistic skill.

Testimonial for Jiap Rojjana

I have been using my "Hieroglyphs" handbag since day one. I've received many compliments on it. It is a nice size and easy to carry. It's large enough to hold a book and my other necessities without being bulky. The interesting pattern of the fabric adds so much to the design.

Testimonial for Sorapon Dhupagupta

I recently received my sets of Sacred Tea Clouds tea cups and Blue Fern dishes. I am thrilled with them. The detail is wonderful and the colors are beautiful. I am putting more of this artist's items on my wish list.

Testimonial for Alfredo Falcon

Of all the wraps I own my "Mountain Grace" shawl is the one I wear the most. The weight is perfect for those days when it's just too warm for a winter coat. The colors go with pretty much anything I wear. The alpaca blend wool is soft and comfortable but not itchy. And the quality of workmanship is exemplary. This is one of the best NOVICA purchases I have made.

Testimonial for Wayan Kandiyasa

I bought a sandstone Ganesha as a gift for a friend.The detail on the statue is wonderful. She and I both like it so much that I just might purchase another for my own collection.

I just received my 'banana leaf' platter and I just love it. It makes a lovely addition to the serving pieces I already own.

Testimonial for Nyoman Rena

I don't know what possessed me to order a skull ring but once I received "Immortal" I was very pleased. The workmanship on the piece is excellent. I receive lots of attention and comments whenever I wear it. It's a purchase that makes me very happy.

Testimonial for Pedro and Maria

I just love the "Sun Moon Turtle" that I purchased. The colors are bright & vibrant and the quality of the piece is excellent. My turtle sits in a place where it can be admired by those who visit our home. Thank you for making such wonderful items.
