Wonderful to sell a batch of balsa turtle, armadillo and other Amazon wildlife ornaments to several fair trade shops at this year's conference of the Fair Trade Federation in Louisville, KY. Our first buyer was Andrea Gronau - manager of the non-profit Worldly Goods shop in Ames, Iowa. Also pictured here is one of the ornament carvers David Andrade - Bora artisan from Brillo Nuevo. The sloth is also a popular model.
