I came across this really cool movement and wanted to share with you guys. The Bootstrap Project is a non-profit organization that supports artisans in less fortunate countries. Basically, they create beautiful authentic furniture, accessories and textiles and sell them in an effort to better themselves and their community. It is a really wonderful concept.. ethnic decor is one of the hottest trends right now, and what could be better than getting these items right from the source.. and for a great cause!
Their motto is: its trade, not aid. Below are some of my favorite items they have for sale. Check the website to learn more or purchase - http://thebootstrapproject.com/index.php

| Stools from Tajikistan, $199 each |

 |
| Ikat pillows from Tajikistan, $60 each |
 |
| Flat baskets from Zambia, $30 for small size $40 for large size (I LOVE these but they are sold out of the large size... I will keep checking back). |
