Fair Trade and Handmade Copper and Brass Jewelry on its way

We just conducted our pre-clearance exercise with our shipper so hopefully that means our shipment of fair trade and handmade copper and brass jewelry from South Africa is well on its way to the U.S. Let's hope our package doesn't get held up in U.S. Customs!

We're still trying to sort out our recycled billboard line of handbags. For some reason we're having trouble getting the shipment out from South Africa. Part of the challenge is working with artisan groups who aren't well-versed in exporting so this is a learning curve for them. Couple that with the fact that they don't have a ton of shipping options available, and the challenge is compounded. Nonetheless, our shipment is ready, packaged and eager to ship...we just need to finalize the shipping arrangements!

In the meantime, we're posting some new items on www.World-Shoppe.com this week before we send out our September newsletter (which is, of course, late since we've been tied up with our South African partners much of the month). We hope you'll find some new treasures!
