"In Guatemala, we have more than 720 bird species, but few people seem to care about preserving their habitat. This is my way of showing some of our tropical birds and sharing my respect for nature," Jose Arriola says. Working in ceramic, he creates a set of six ornaments. A toucan, a scarlet macaw and a crested carpenter bird are joined by the almost-endangered blue ocellated turkey and two bright parrots. The ornaments arrive with a pouch of handloomed cotton.

“A colorful flock of birds for my kitchen”

I love these birds. They hang year round in my kitchen window. They are joined by other Fair Trade bird ornaments from around the world.

“These Eclipse Ornaments Remind Me Of My Son”

My son passed away in an accident in August 2023. He loved astronomy and had a telescope he loved to share with us. He wasnt here on earth to see the two eclipses last year, but I know he had a marvelous view of them from heaven! These ornaments will always remind me that he is still with us and is busy exploring the wonders of the universe!
