My partner in life and now business, Jorge Galeano, and I decided to embark on a new adventure this year. Jorge has strong entrepreneurial roots in his mother who lives in Asuncion, Paraguay and we thought perhaps we would follow her lead. Jorge's mom and another friend, Ana Christina, are key components in our own endeavor. Jorge's mom and Ana Christina do our buying in Paraguay and ship the results of their buying efforts to us. So far they have sent us three shipments of Filigrana silver jewellery to us that we are looking to sell to appreciative customers.
They are also sending us handcrafted items know as Nanduti which means spiderweb in the Indian language of the area. We have table cloths and other table coverings. When we set up at the Red River Exhibition, these items caught a lot of attention from people walking past our booth.
We have also posted many items that we have for sale on our Ebay store. We invite you to visit by following the link which we have at the side of our blog. Our next sales adventure will be the Winnipeg Fringe Festival. We will be located outside of 90 Albert St. close the Kid's Fringe area. Jorge and I always enjoyed going to the Fringe and we will be enjoying ourselves in a different capacity this year. The Ex was fun. This will even be more fun. My brother, Eric Dawson, is also working on a permanent website for us. It is still in the preparation stage but I encourage you to take a look and see how it is progressing.
The slogan I put on our banner and our business cards is "Bringing the world to you!" Right now we are bringing you a taste of Paraguay but as we grow in our business, we hope to bring you other offerings from around the world. This blog will tell the story of our journey.
