Chennai spay/neuter project

DateMonday, December 12, 2011 at 11:24PM

After another weekend selling at Cultural Surival Bazaar, I'm ready to donate the profits of the past two Bazaars to animal welfare organizations. First donation is to the Blue Cross of India's spay/neuter project in Chennai.

Blue Cross of India has been successful in controling the street animal population to the extent that the city is now free of rabies (a major public health issue in India). However, they have to continue to spay and neuter to keep the city rabies-free.

Another day at the Bazaar and a surprise

DateSunday, November 27, 2011 at 02:30PM

The Bazaar of the past 2 days was fun; it's always nice to hang out with all the other vendors. Linda of Tribal Arts and I had a lot of laughs and only more so when she told me what her husband overheard from two young people leaving an earlier bazaar -- one said to the other, "This is where old hippies come to sell their stuff."

Uh, yup, that's about right.

I bought an amazing necklace with big red beads and round discs with Arabic script from Linda. And came home to find a bouquet of red and purple flowers outside the door of my apartment -- a birthday present from My Man in the U.K.

Cultural Survival Bazaar this Saturday

DateWednesday, June 30, 2010 at 04:48PM

I'll be selling a wide variety of scarves, tablecloths, pillow covers, jewelry, and gift items at the Cultural Survival Bazaar on Boston Common this Saturday, July 3, from 10am to 6pm. There will be lots of other vendors there selling crafts from all over the world. The quality of crafts at Cultural Survival Bazaars is amazing! The event is a fund-raiser for the nonprofit, Cultural Survival, so 40% of the sales go to help Indigenous Peoples all over the world defend their land, languages, and cultures. And all of my profits go to help animals.
