For the record... this girl celebrates the bonds of friendship and
commerce that weave through all countries around the world, the sharing
of talents, creativity, good will, kindness and goods that transcends
borders. In fact, this morning I am eating an avocado from Mexico, and
drinking a mug (hand painted in Italy) of coffee whose beans were
harvested in Sumatra. I buy hand dyed silk from a woman in Australia and
dyed wool from a woman in Czechoslovakia. In turn my books, f
iber
art and paintings travel the world - my painted girls advertise a spa
in Germany and adorn a garden wall (as a mosaic) in South Australia. I
have a dear friend from the Netherlands, another from South Africa, and
yet another whose husband is from China... oh did I mention Mom is
Canadian. I celebrate all people, all countries, all belief systems, all
backgrounds.
