We’ve got our first spoiler for the November 2015 GlobeIn Artisan Box!

All November 2015 GlobeIn Artisan Box “Bedroom” themed boxes will contain:

~Seahorse Pillow Pet from Guatemala (Retail Value: $22, colors will vary).

From GlobeIn:

In K’iche,’ a Mayan language spoken in the Guatemalan highlands, the word y’abal means “hope.” By creating social programs and fair trade job opportunities for Guatemalan women weavers, Y’abal Handicrafts indeed represents hope for the women, their communities, and their culture.

Silvia Mazariegos is a tailor and designer that helped pilot Y’abal’s Pillow Pet product line. Recently, Silvia’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, a disease which has already taken the life of her eldest sister. For Silvia and her family, the pillow pet has indeed become a beacon of hope, especially the GlobeIn order of 1000 seahorses that came at just the right time. The whole family has organized to assist Silvia in the effort of cutting, sewing, stuffing, and assembling the pets, the proceeds of which will cover the sister’s costly path back to health.

Suggested use: Use as a throw pillow to add a splash of color to your bedding.
