Cotton blend coin purse, 'Andean Sunshine'





By REO
Teaching Tool
Beautiful craftsmanship presents a wonderful way to teach about life in the Andes. This girl loves her home….
Cotton coin purse, 'Helpful Friend'





By Marnie
This coin purse is so cute and colorful!
Once again the Lopez Garcia Family has made the cutest thing. It has a worry doll on the front and a little matching tab. Just adorable! They even made it with a snap on the worry doll so you can snap it off if you are worried, as I was, that it will get torn if you use the coin purse. A very talented family.
Cotton blend cell phone bag, 'Mama of the Andes'





By Marnie
This cell phone bag is very pretty and shows a mothers love!
First, I must say that this phone bag is one of many items I have purchased from Ms. Sanchez, including cell phone bags, sling bags, a coin purse, a wall hanging, and a pencil case . She is an extremely talented and imaginative artisan. Her portrayal of the beauty of her country delights me and makes me wish I could visit Peru. If you study her applique work you will find many interesting and beautiful things. I truly love everything she has made and sent to me, and I thank her.
