"We are so excited to be opening to the public," said owner Cael Chappell. "Our products used to have a big presence at Peacecraft, so ever since that closed we have been looking to promote our handmade, Fair Trade crafts in New Mexico."
Located at 4603 McLeod NE, at the corner of Jefferson and McLeod in Albuquerque, the showroom is open on Fridays 10 am - 4 pm, and by appointment.
"We will be open this Saturday to give people a chance to get a basket in time for Easter," said Chappell. "Our grass baskets from Ghana are perfect for that!"

"We are very proud to be members of the Fair Trade Federation," said Chappell. "Everything we do revolves around our mission to help the weavers and artists in Africa."

All of these products are also available online: www.BasketsOfAfrica.com, and www.AfricanAllure.com. To make an appointment, call (505) 323-2315.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this beautiful message about the relationship between mothers and their children, and how it is reflected in the tradition of basket weaving in Africa. It is heartwarming to know that by supporting these weavers, we are not only preserving their culture but also helping them to provide for their families. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!
