I just returned from a dramatic trip to Thailand and India. I arrived in Bangkok the day after the government dispersed a rally of over 5,000 protesters that had walled themselves in in the center of Bangkok's shopping district. In the ensuing melee, 29 buildings were burned, including the second largest shopping mall in Asia.
Despite martial law, curfews and 120 degree heat in India, I managed to find some really unique pieces.
Although most of what I purchased will be coming in a few weeks, I did buy some ready stock from several suppliers. I have added some new designs to the site, and have restocked some of our best sellers.

One thing I am really excited about are these hand painted images set in sterling silver. They have a really intricate mandala pattern on the reverse, and they are just so cool. I'll be sending out the monthly newsletter in a few days with more about the trip and my finds.
