Recently I was asked by the crew over at
Novica to help share and rate their services. Novica is a fair trade artisan website run in conjunction with National Geographic. It's a great cause giving work to artisans in 3rd world countries but also makes for a lot of fun shopping; a sort of international etsy! I chose to purchase a sculpture of
Mercury from the artist
Claudio Aun in Brazil.
The item arrived shockingly fast considering it was an international purchase and was packaged very safely. I even received a nice note from the artist thanking me for my purchase! What about an
African Walking stick instead of a boring metal cane for an ill friend; much more stylish. Or some
jewelry for a birthday? Next time you're in the mood to do some online shopping or need to find a special gift, consider
Novica.

Hi, Stefan — I will bookmark the site!
Stefan I love Novica and their support of the arts and free trade. In fact I have featured them several times, the artist are so grateful and as you say write a note of appreciation for the order.
Love, love your sculpture!
