I dunno….
In the heat of this dripping, stifling summer
you may dream of
a hammock.
Handcrafted from Brazil…or Mexico
Blue, cool, swinging slowly between the palms
OR
perhaps a cool and beautiful as the Caribbean waters
Turquoise necklace
Or some carnelian Jap Mala prayer beads from Mali
I don’t know what would really float your boat…
But…YOU do.
Maybe something for your casa….
that comes made from other hands worlds away
Possibly a lovely alpaca throw made in the Andes?
Pick your poison….or your pleasure…the possibilities are endless. Truly

you kind of had me at hello with that hammock. how wonderful would that be?!
The hammock swing would be great!!
The hammock would be a great addition to my new home's back yard under the Spanish moss filled trees. Please count me in.
Pretty things, pretty things . . .
but I'll take a hammock, any hammock, on beach under the palms.
Oh my!
A lovely giveaway and som many amazing items...
If I could choose it would be either:
Men's sterling silver cocktail ring, 'Lucky Koi'
or
Chain stitched Kashmiri rug, 'Hypnotic Olive Retro' (3x5)
...but I haven't made it all the way thru Novicas site yet !!
mmmm... I would love decor for the home- love those baskets!
Oooh, i would love a gift cerificate, all such beautiful items!
Love the prayer beads
I love the Bolivian alpaca blanket, but there is so much lovely stuff!
Great giveaway, I would love the hammock (I would make it work somewhere on the boat).

Love the ruanas!
I loved the site, and added it to my favorites. I love all your picks especially the tourquoise necklace.
I picked a wool shoulder bag from the Andes. Flowers in the Snow.
What a great give away.
Of course I picked a blue and white porcelain piece...Tammy how could you do this to me? They're all lovely pieces.
Wow, what gorgeous choices. I can't take my eyes off of the pretty jewelry. The turquoise necklace or the prayer beads would be difficult to choose between. I'm hoping I'm lucky since it's almost my birthday.

The handbags are amazing along with the jewelry and clothing. The 'Blue Celebration' handbag is delightful.
Hey guys...make sure you put your email addy in the post if you are Anon...K? Otherwise I won't be able to tell you YOU WON!
Thanks!
Beautiful things...that hammock would be lovely, or a giftcard so I could chose a a gift....
ohhh, i love the necklaces. they are so pretty. I would also probably support Mexico--being that they are our neighbors and all.
oh my goodness! so many beautiful things. What a wonderful site - thanks for sharing! Seeing as I'm redoing my living room right now - something for the home would be amazing!
Love the temple bell earrings. Beautiful things.
I love the handbags. Maybe "Lilac Lotuses" or "Sao Paolo Chic." Gorgeous! I love natural fiber bags.
Thanks for the giveaway!
So much to love! I would probably choose jewelry. chedeb5353@hotmail.com
I adore this website and their philosophy. I'd love to support Haiti, they hold a special place in my heart :)

This is fantastic! I think I'd have to go for a hammock.
I am in love with alpaka throw !!It would be so comfy for my baby boy
Novica is cool! I love many things they have... the "sea dreams" cotton scarf for example! I saw a great bag too..., or perhaps I'd pick an art piece!!
I love the Margarita Glass in Aquamarine from Mexico:

Wow - I was captivated by their wood masks, I loved Daughter of Nature!
I'd love to support Thailand. There are so many beautiful home decor & jewelry items from Thailand on the site.

I would love to get my hands on that beautiful throw! :-)
So many choices, so little time... but I do know I would choose something RED. No, make that ORANGE. Or maybe something GREEN. Yes, definitely something GREEN... ;)
loving the "china paths" top from thailand in white, looks comfy!
I would choose something turquoise colored and love the items. Nancy Carr nancythedove@aol.com
Love the Forest Lightning Beaded Rattan Basket. Very Missoni-esque and I'm always a sucker for a basket.
I love the coral branch pendant because to me it symbolizes the harmony, balance and synergy of the coral reef which we experience more and more in this world every day

Hammock is great but a piece of jewelry may be my pick.
Wow...talk about getting lost in a world of lovely!
I am attracted to the work of Rose Marie Larrabfure from the Andes, her beautiful placemats...AND my niece is currently in Chile...what a coincidence!
In my neck of the woods or cactus rather, I dream of an invention that makes pool water cold. :)
Linda, have no idea why I called you Tammy...forgive me...that's what I get for reading so many blogs at once.
Or it could have been my excitement at the prospect of winning a new blue and white piece for my collection.
Oh good gravy ... well the hammock ... ahhhh.
But where to put it. Definitely the mala beads ... carnelian for creativity. Need to get those juices flowing. Ok, I am going to go to the site and maybe get into some trouble!!! Thanks Linda! ;)
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what I get for spending that whole week of my life on the phone yelling at useless real estate agents instead of cruising blog land and seeing this post. Dadgummit! And all summer long I've been thinking that a hammock is EXACTLY what we need for the area between the grapes down by the creek. Shoot. :(
