LAST DAY! Novica Review and Giveaway

Have you ever purchased a piece of jewelry and wondered who made it?

Partnered with National Geographic, Novica is one of the leading fair trade artisan websites. They unite artists from around the world. With each piece, more than 30,000, you can learn about where it was made and by whom. I was hooked!

Novica.... with so many item to look at the only thing you'll need to do is make a decision on what piece or pieces you want. The site is clearly laid out and easy to use. There are three categories to choose from: Home Decor, Jewelry & Apparel and Paintings.

Home Decor is then broken down into ten subcategories. I really like looking at all the Tableware and Entertainment items. Jewelry and Apparel is easy navigate through too. There are 8,597 pieces of Sterling Silver.....need I say more? Just get your Christmas list and your credit card within weeks your gifts will be tucked neatly away into the closet. You can sip coffee with your feet up on the couch while listening to your friends stress about the holidays.
(Doesn't that sound perfect!)

The unique items have you eagerly clicking from one to the next. This is coming from someone who has spent hours clicking from one category to the next, no lies. I am fascinated with everything.

Well, let me show you a few of my favorites:

Khun Boom
"Being born into the varied and abundant culture of Chiang Mai, I was exposed to the world of traditional art and the customs from China and Southeast Asia. This contributed to my love for art, which began at an early age and has become a life-long passion for design and the creation. My love for art is ingrained in my personality, and it comes through in the care, love, and attention to detail that I put into every piece I design. I am so proud to be Thai, and I hope to share some of that pride with you."

"I'm form the state of Guanajuato, but I began my apprenticeship in a ceramic workshop in Mexico City. I began as an assistant decorator and after two years I was heading that department. By then I decided to start my own workshop at my parents' house. It was just my wife and I. "
