hand carved soap flowers $20.00
Clean Design
Who says soap can only make suds? Using a single block of soap, fair trade artists in Thailand carve delicate petals and beautiful blossoms that look as if they've been lifted straight from a Zen garden. Hand painted in gorgeous shades of purples, blues, and more, each aromatic bloom is placed in a mango wood box. While these gorgeous designs won't make bubbles anymore, they do still carry the lovely aroma of a crisply clean bouquet. Handmade in Thailand.
butterfly puddler by Jo-Anne & Gerald Warren$40.00
Gardens Take Flight
There's nothing quite like a garden aflutter with wild butterflies in the afternoon sun. Attract your neighborhood beauties with this sand-and-water puddler, designed to hold on to natural minerals after water evaporates.
Its shallow well of recycled glass holds sand or rock salt along with a teaspoon of water. When the water evaporates (in under a day), butterflies are attracted to the minerals left behind from the hard water and sand/salt. Once butterflies know where they can find these minerals, they return regularly. Place it in a conspicuous nook to transform your outdoor space into an enchanted garden.

This growing wall art kit is sure to help your garden get off the ground. The rustic, wood-framed box garden is designed to grow indoors or out, vertically or horizontally.

Story Behind the Art:'My name is Thidarat. I am a full time government employee working in Bangkok, Thailand. I love to design and craft the jewelry by myself. In 2003, my husband and I started a small business and opened a shop at the weekend market so we can do it outside of our work time. I am happy when I see others appreciate my designs. This inspires me to make more beautiful jewelry. My designs are made by friends and family in Lamphun, the northen province of Thailand. My satisfaction comes from the pride of being able to create jobs and income for the people back home so that they can have a better life. Sale $38.67
