honeyed figs

these rugs are all available at anou.  the site operates as a non-profit collective, providing the infrastructure and technology to local moroccan artisans thereby affording them the opportunity to sell directly to international online costumers.

i have to admit, i have not yet purchased anything myself, but it seems to be a great company that has set up the ultimate fair trade structure and addressed the practical hurdles artisans might face in selling online.

so many beautiful rugs, and other home goods, and so lovely to see the people and places from where they come.

thank you yzb for the link!
