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.”

Sneak preview of new products from India

DateSunday, February 4, 2007 at 05:40PM

joyatri_promo1.jpgUntil I am able to post individual photos, information, and prices of the new products I purchased in India, here are two photos that show a teeny-tiny selection of what I bought. As always, the profits from everything I sell goes to animal welfare groups in India.

Some of the items in the photos are: woven grass mat fans from Karnataka; kalamkari wall hangings from Andhra Pradesh; wooden toys, key chains (the frog hanging on the black bag below), and pencil sharpeners with vegetable-dyed lacquer finishes from Andhra Pradesh; kalamkari dhurries; lac bangles; 5-metal alloy necklaces and figurines from Orissa; woven bags from Rajasthan; and block-printed cotton scarves from Jaipur.

Arriving by boat in a couple months will be clothes, bedspreads, tablecloths, pillow covers, a wide range of cotton scarves and stoles, greeting cards, and silver jewelry.joyatri_promo2.jpg
