Nomads in the sunshine… Its fine to say that without rain we would not see all the gorgeous little hedgerow flowers that are popping up all around us at this time of the year. We are enjoying early blossoms this spring - brightening up our days and making lunch time walks a real pleasure. Water conservation is a big part of growing organically. Using natural fertilizers requires far less watering than farming with chemical pesticides. The farmers save rainwater and use for watering the fields. Check out our new collection of organic cotton garments for spring as indicated by the logo |

We are very fortunate at the warehouse to have country lanes in one direction and a vintage steam railway in the other. The train starts chugging away at Easter and it’s a comfort to hear the little “toot toots!” as it passes by.
Our spring dresses have really taken off this month - after
record sales on the handloom coats and cardigans it’s
nice to be able to take a layer off and enjoy a bit of sun.
Cotton is the perfect fabric for warmer weather and we hope
you enjoy the new collection |

You might
want to know that we are currently working on new handicraft designs
to add to our collaboration with the TARA project (Trade Alternative
Reform Action). Tara means “one who saves” and this
is so true for the hundreds of children who are rescued out of sweatshops
and put into free schools in Northern India. TARA also provides
the community with group support for those who are disadvantaged
through poverty and family loss.
We hope you like the eclectic collection
of jewellery made by TARA project which funds the building and running
of these schools and support centres. Using hand rolled magazines
and a mixture of odd beads and buttons creates a whimsical piece
which we know you will love to wear. |

This spring we want to think about water and
how important it is to us all (just as much as sunshine!) To feed
us and to clothe us we need it every day. Say thanks to nature.
With Blessings |
