Handmade in Albania is back!

Fall is always extra busy.  Here's a bit of what we've been up to!
  • Back to school (I've started an online masters program -- ahhh!! Need I say more?)
  • We've been working furiously to finish up the building project and transition to our new facility, which included some renovations on our former space to convert it to different purposes (fun, $$$ and messy! but will greatly expand our capacity for hosting guests, which we still do, even in these days of the pandemic!).
  • Due to COVID cancelling most international travel, our sending agency asked us to consider hosting a 'virtual visit' for folks to see what we do here in Albania and learn more about the culture.  That's happening this week but we put together more than a dozen videos to give guests an 'immersive' experience through content delivered daily to their e-mail boxes.
  • Handmade in Albania launches for its annual holiday sales!  I enjoyed snapping pics of the new products made by the knitters!  Last year's sales were a huge help post-earthquake.  Sadly, their situation has changed little, STILL living in temporary shelters awaiting the promised help from the local government. Construction is starting to happen, but slowly. I know they would be SO grateful if you checked out their work at https://handmadeinalbania.org/
  • New products include garlands for decorating your home (in case you live in a warm climate :-) )












Isn't this braided cowl just the loveliest?  Check it out here.

Cables are timeless!
