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.

Might interest you to know that the best alpaca wool is a very fine fiber underneath the main coat of the animal. It is analogous to the down feathers from geese, as opposed to the main outer protective feathers. Very nice stuff, the best in the world according to many in the wool industry. Except for , IIRC, Vicuna (sp) wool, but outrageously priced as the animals are not domesticated.

Exactly right. Vicuna (with the spanish 'n~') is not domesticated and can only be sheered once every 3 years. The fiber is so good the animals don't need to grow it quickly to stay warm, hense both it's rarity and quality.

It's a protected animal in these parts. I don't expect to have that but... we'll see.

Hard to imagine anything being better than cashmere, I had a button up sweater, frayed and delapidated years ago, it was easy to tell the material was superior.

I bot one of those really heavy sweaters from the Otavelo (sp) markets years ago (1984) and when it is really cold here that's what I wear. It has all kinda of straw in the wool,and smells like sheep, but damm if you want warm that is the the article to wear.

Think I paid all of $5.00 in the currency crisis of 1983.
