| If you are planning a wedding or special
gathering in
the coming months, you might be interested in a couple of specific
products we carry. Many of you know we offer gift registry and we feel
these items complement that service and will add a unique, beautiful
touch to your special event. If you feel that either of these
are of interest, please come by, email us or give us a call. Information on how to register for an event can be found on our website. If you aren't planning a special event but you know someone that is you might want to pass this information on to them. Botanika Leafware We imported this leafware from India, designed for easy use and ecological throw-away. They're made from leaves of deciduous tropical trees, hygienically cleaned and then woven together with natural fibers into bowls and plates. They are perfect for weddings and other family gatherings, festivals and camping. After you have used for a meal, they simply go into the compost bin or can be buried in the ground while camping.
For details on this leafware, see http://www.eatitworld.com/forestware.html. Nepalese Wedding Invitations We

Bush. A box of 25 invitations includes the following: invitation with
