Hi everyone! Greetings from Minneapolis!

Debra travels to Nepal to work with the weavers and stays at the lovely Ting Tea House. Their garden is a quiet oasis amidst the chaos that is Kathmandu.

Our booth at ICFF in NYC. Almost ready for opening day!

The throws are carefully ironed in Nepal before being packaged and shipped to us. Who said ironing is women's work?

Always a good sign!

The hotel in Kathmandu serves a fantastic breakfast with local fruits and yogurt, Himalayan honey, herbs from their kitchen garden and bread they bake every morning. A fine way to start a workday in Nepal.

A talisman at the door of our weaver brings good luck.

OUR SONG

One morning, as I sat working at my desk, a curious bird tapped insistently at my window. It was a bright little bird—a Goldfinch. What could he want? Did he have a message? Later that day, unexpectedly, our first-ever shipment of woolen treasures arrived from a far-away land. And so begins the story of Goldfinch.
