My new web site is online. If anyone's interested is stuff from Ecuador, there are some nice things down here and we'll ship it to you. We'll be expanding our inventory in the near future so what we have is a pretty good start, thanks in part to a wood carver/artisan here who's let us feature his inventory. We can do alpaca clothing, Panama hats (All Panama hats come from Ecuador as they are named for where us Euro-gringos discovered them). The wool jackets are very nice -- heavy and warm, as are the wraps. The lobster carving is especially cool. Just about everything would be a very nice gift item.

Anyway wish us luck and any questions, comments on improvements or things on our site are quite welcome! There is a lot more here than what we show so we might be able to get something strange if you ask, like smoking pipes, jewelry made from watermelon seeds, decorative swords made from sword fish snouts and things like that.

Can items be special ordered, Neil.....what I'm thinking is like the Sea Horse Set BUT not painted. Just the bare wood? For one thing, my bathroom is done in wood and these could be hung in there as a nice decorative touch. OR, I would prefer to paint to my own color scheme?

Would this hold true on some of the other items? I find the carved crabs interesting--and would think just plain unpainted or tinted ones would be most attractive.

I love the alpaca and wool things. I had a girlfriend in Montana whose father assisted missionaries in Peru each summer. He'd fly materials in that their church provided for the people. While he was there one year, he had an alpaca jacket made for my girlfriend. Pam always said it was so warm, and not so overly heavy, bulky or confining that she couldn't do her chores and stuff in it.

He also brought her home a wall hanging done with colored fibers from alpacas--I believe they used native dyes. It was beautiful--she hung in on the staircase landing wall.

Yes, we should be able to get sea horses in just bare wood.

Yes, we should be able to get crabs without paint as well, and at less price, of course. We'll ask about these.

On my first trip here I bought a bunch of the wool jackets back as gifts and pretty much everyone reported getting compliments on them. Those are wool, not alpaca. But they are a thick weave, come in all kinds of colorful designs and are very warm. Can't call them sweaters though since they are much more durable than normal sweaters. They are for general outdoor use.

There are plenty of alpaca fur wall hangings, some quite large, but I've not seen any that were dyed. Natural colors are white and dark brown, and I've seen hangings that use both colors to create depictions of people unicorns, landscapes and that sort of thing. The one we have is straight brown and is on the smaller side. I've seen nice artistic ones that are about 4' x 6' or thereabouts.
