New book: Grandmother Power - A Global Phenomenon

Paola Gianturco is a captivating speaker. And the message she brings about groups of grandmothers around the world working to make their communities better places is inspirational. We had the great opportunity to hear her speak last evening in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She introduced grandmothers (and grandothers and the rest of us too!) to some of the women in the 17 groups on 5 continents that she visited in writing her book.



Her Circle Ezine recently wrote an excellent review of Grandmother Power.



Organic silk gown by Canadian designer, Michelle Pyxus

Canadian fashion designer Michelle Pyxus bought metres of hand-reeled, handwoven ORGANIC SILK FABRIC from us a couple of years ago. We just received a stunning photo of a stunning silk gown she designed using TAMMACHAT's undyed, handwoven, fair trade organic silk. More wedding gowns to come, says Michelle. Check out her site, Simone's Rose.
