Testimonial For Fernando Cano
I just received the Spring Medley sweater. Oh my, it is gorgeous. It is luxuriously soft, and it looks very expensive. I tend to wear XL in most tops, and the sizing on the XL sweater is just perfect for me. I cannot think of a better holiday gift or treat to get for yourself!

Testimonial For Neeru Goel
I just received my gorgeous labradorite anklet, and while beautiful in the photo, it is even nicer in person. Most importantly, it is a weighted, substantial piece of jewelry. I love anklets, but too often they are too delicate and break easily. This is a very well made piece sure to last a long time.
"Collecting jewelry and gemstones has been my passion ever since childhood."

Testimonial For K. Baka
I purchased Elephant Child. Not only is it more beautiful in person, it also creates a great energy in the room. It is officially the coolest thing on my wall, and I have lots of cool things on my walls. I highly recommend this exquisite tapestry to anyone who loves elephants like I do.
For my paintings, many a time I see them in dreams and visions before I actually paint them. So in the morning I organize my materials and start painting.

Testimonial For XS Association
I have purchased the Green Hope insulated bag and now the Cool Green Trash Can. These are fantastic items that are right on trend currently. Take a look in any retail shop for these kind of upcycled items, and you will see what I mean.
The Green Hope bag makes an excellent make up bag. I hope too more and more from this association -- brilliant concept; perfect execution.
"The people who work with XS Association washing trash and handcrafting products don't want a hand-out, they want opportunities."

Testimonial For Apolonio Alejandro Roque
Oh my goodness -- if you haven't purchased one of these painted glass jewelry boxes yet, do it now!! I bought one of the smaller ones because it looked pretty online and I needed more jewelry space. Truthfully, I expected to receive a box that would look approximately like the kind of thing I might buy at Pier One Imports. Big underestimation! Instead, I received a gorgeous work of art -- I have never seen anything quite like it. My jewelry box is prettier than my jewelry! :) Thanks Apolonio!

Testimonial For Tiraphan Hasub
I purchased the beaded wristband bracelets, 'Bold Brown Fortunes.' Wow, do I love these! In a jewelry box largely full of mass produced items, how nice it is to admire these handmade bracelets with their subtle differences. They are easy to take on and off by yourself(not true with many bracelets). They are unique and right on trend for fashion. Thanks Tiraphan!

Testimonial For Jariya Kakaew
I bought the beautiful Hypnotic Beige blouse. The quality difference between this handmade garment and the sort of thing you'd find in a department store is staggering. It is simply exquisite, and it is easily worth 3-4 times what I paid. In my opinion, these sizes run a tad small, so if you are unsure - size up. It worked for me. Thanks Jariya!
"As a local Thai woman, I'm very proud of the fact that I can have the career that I love, and to be able to provide for myself and my family."
