Here is my next try, google ate my ...Hi Cathering,<br /><br />Here is my next try, google ate my previous comment .... ;)<br />I love your idea. I have no experience in this field. But here in the Netherlands we have a tv-programme called: Return to Sender. It is a initiative of the dutch actress Katja Schuurman. If you google on these names you will find information. Also on you tube you can find a video about this projec.<br />The idea about this project is to have the people make products that are sold at the "Hema" (a well-know departement store) and that the profit is returned to the makers. Part of the idea is that the products apply to the tastes of the Dutch buyers, so they are quite trendy. I once bought a white cotton duvet cover with lace crochet, made in India and a scarf with lovely embroidery from Nepal.<br /><br />Wish I could be of more help, I love your project. Wishing you lots of succes.<br /><br />XXXSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145845581278458187noreply@blogger.com
