For those of you who missed it, do have a look at this post – an excellent idea for a Christmas or Holiday gift, because each purchase doesn’t just gladden your loved one’s heart, it also goes a long way in supporting the women who make it.
And to continue, we have another place you can go to for very meaningful holiday gifts – Earthworm… an ecostore in Goa started by two green thinking local entrepreneurs, Roopa and Nirmal who take inspiration from the humble earthworm that we all know…a living being that lives beneath the soil and toils tirelessly for the earth’s benefit by churning good soil to great soil!
The store is their sincere effort to provide a platform for conscious low impact consumerism. Apart from bringing together products for alternative green living, the wonderful people who run it have also put together an exotic range of products sourced from indigenous community-based fair trade organizations, local self help groups, traditional master craftsmen and artisans with the intention to support local living economies.

Haathi chap reminds me of the elephant poo paper photoalbum which we got as a sovenier from a touring agency in Thailand when we visited chiangmai. I have shown it to many people none could guess its origin!!! Colorful palm baskets are beautiful 🙂
