Sit back and be transported to Buenos Aires, Argentina where you will meet two artisans I met at the weekend market at La Feria de Plaza Francia.

One of the first questions I often get asked is how do I find the artisans? I love this question!

I begin to look for the artisans in the local markets.

When I find something that catches my eye, I simply start a conversation with the artisan to get to know them, their fashion, and learn how they make it.

It started with a suitcase full of beautiful pieces from each artisan I met and then it turned into creating lasting relationships with them.

The magic happens when you connect with them personally.

Through your purchases you provide sustainable jobs for them, creating a positive change in this world.

Watch Sofia's fingers dance as she creates the loops for her Vegan Silk Chainlink Necklaces.

She says, "It's like a mantra." Zen out for 30 seconds and be mesmerized in this moment.

I've been holding out on you...I promised I show you who Pocho is and today is the day!

This past year Sofia rescued a cat. His name is Pocho. (See Pocho below👇)

Pocho is like the mas'cat' 😽 of Sofia's business and like many animals do, brings her a lot of joy.

Every time she sends me a picture of him, I just gush! He's just the cutest, isn't he?!

If you don't know who Sofia is, she is my artisan who creates the most beautiful scarves and hats for fall and winter.

These fun beanies are handmade with so much love from Sofia in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

She knits them using a mohair blend- a soft and silky wool that will keep you oh so warm!

There are only two left in stock, grey and black.

Grab one before they are gone for good!

I have been thinking about you a lot lately. And the word connection continues to pop up in my mind every time I do.

I want to make sure you are connecting with the artisans.

I believe that's why you are here, right, to get to know them and support them?

It's been a while since I've introduced you to Sofia. She creates the beautiful mohair scarves in the shop.

She and I have been friends since the beginning.

Come back later this week to meet Pocho. Who's Pocho? You will just have to wait and see!
