Baby Hats and Booties These are pretty darn cute. When we brought these back from Zambia, we had to wash them to clean the African dust that pervades everything there. Find out more...
Chitenge What is it about this magical material that just shouts Africa and brings such smiles to our faces? Is it that we are reminded of our friends who are wrapped from head to toe in this fabric? Or that their children are toted around on their backs in these?

Beatrice is a true rustic potter. She forms, glazes, and fires beautiful pottery using only her hands and a fire pit she has dug in her backyard. Every day Beatrice gathers clay from the banks of a small creek fed by the Kafubu River. She carries the clay on her head, in the tradition of African women, back to the small mud hut she shares with her carpenter husband and their children. Find out more...
With every purchase we provide a complimentary Peace Quote screensaver for your computer with stunning photos from the Monastery and inspiring quotes. See a preview.
