About Me

I buy handmade crafts in India and sell them to benefit animal welfare organizations in India and elsewhere. Former art historian. Current packrat. Avid thrifter and vintage clothes wearer. Love 1960s and early 1970s styles. Partial to Art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelite, Victorian, Renaissance and Medieval art. On a continual quest for good-looking, comfortable vegan shoes. Bhangra dancer since 2002. Fascinated by all things Indian. Vegan and animal advocate.

Check out Joyatri on Etsy for vintage clothing and other items.

 

Words I like:

"She was dressed, as usual, in an odd assortment of clothes, most of which had belonged to other people." 

Excellent Women by Barbara Pym (1913-1980)

 

“I said "Somebody should do something about that." Then I realized I am somebody.”

Asia for Animals Conference 2007

asiaforanimals.jpgI will be attending the Asia for Animals conference in January. This conference is held every two years and, lucky for me, it is in India next year. Since I did not go to India in 2006, I am ready for a trip in 2007. The conference is in Chennai in Tamil Nadu, a state that I have not yet visited. I look forward to seeing people I know from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary (Utah, USA) and Compassionate Crusaders Trust (Kolkata, India). And meeting people from other organizations in India with whom I've only exchanged emails.
