heart felt

These adorable felt ornaments from Silk Road Bazaar are all hand crafted using natural fibers and eco-friendly resources in Kyrgyzstan--a central Asian country known for its exquisite felt and terrible poverty, especially amongst women.  Silk Road Bazaar has worked incredibly hard to build a company that not only employs women (over 90% of the entire process is female-made) but gives them an artistic outlet that allows them to support their families.  These beautiful, handmade ornaments will warm your heart not only with their design but also with their message and their mission.
