Can't wait for an occasion to go shopping on your website. (I would love to have a piece of Roman glass as that is what I am watching on netflix, and reading about. My current obsession, of which I have had many different periods of history.)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-28120324018972673632009-03-26T13:39:00.000-04:002009-03-26T13:39:00.000-04:00Hi Leenie, I haven't written a travel book yet. ...Hi Leenie, I haven't written a travel book yet.

I have a feeling it would be fascinating reading. When we were visiting ruins in Mexico a local man came to us selling "authentic" ceramic figurines he had "dug up on his farm". We seriously doubted that. But they were different from the usual ware so we bought two and did not work too hard to get a lower price.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-51905932143843496092009-03-26T09:30:00.000-04:002009-03-26T09:30:00.000-04:00I quite agree about trying to buy things from craf...I quite agree about trying to buy things from craftspeople who you actually meet.It is the best way to try to get money to the right place.<BR/>When we were in Morocco I used to buy lots of paintings from a local artist - so charming.<BR/>Of course I now have a whole stack of them.......waiting to be framed.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-77128039888075238502009-03-26T08:49:00.000-04:002009-03-26T08:49:00.000-04:00The pieces are beautiful...it's amazing how you co...The pieces are beautiful...it's amazing how you could be "wearing history"! Kind of like you are walking with ancestors...<BR/>I like your idea of having craftsmen make new items to help them grow their businesses in tead of just focusing on expensive rare antiques!<BR/>It is also very nice to know that you have things inspected before they leave Nepal.
