redeemed goods

I absolutely love Perú. Ever since I met my husband, I have become slightly obsessed with all things Perú. My wedding dress was Peruvian, my wedding rings, Peruvian. Most of my jewelry, if it wasn't made by me or one of my sisters or ordered from my favorite catalog in the world, sundance, is from Perú. For years I have had a secret treasure trove of goodies that I glean from my own private Peruvian source: shawls, ponchos, beanies, gloves, purses, rugs, housewares, fabric, art... this list is endless.

I decided that turning forty should be a milestone marked by expanding my horizons. In fact, this blog is one of those horizons. Additionally I thought it would be fun to start sharing some goodies from my Peruvian treasure trove. As a trial run, I asked my husband to bring me back these gauntlets in all the colors he could find so I could share them instead of hoarding them. Babysteps. I have posted a blogspot called redeemed goods so people can check out my wares. I haven't gotten all the logistics worked out yet but I'm on my way...

My father in law is receiving a National Award in Peru for his over 40 years of work on behalf of this organization. If you read spanish, the article follows below.
