After hearing the horror stories coming out of Bangladesh about factories collapsing and the conditions the workers work in, I thought that it would be reassuring to meet some of the people who supply us with our clothes and handicrafts here in Thailand.
Many of our suppliers we have worked with for many years and they have become our friends. Over the next few weeks as we put in our orders for next season you'll get a chance to meet them.
Here Steve is with Samon and Wichok, and Sook. We buy our singing frogs and a few other handicrafts from Samon and Wichok. Sook lives with us in our house here in Thailand and we look on her as the daughter we never had. All our projects and crazy ideas involve Sook.
The tie-dye we do with Uraipan. We've worked with her and her husband for many years. Recently her daughter has joined the team. Uraipan is like a humming bird. At full speed all the time.Sometimes it is hard to keep up with her.

We just returned from a trip into the mountains where we ended up buying green coffee beans in a Karen hill tribe village. Had a great time there watching them roast coffee , and sampling the finished product. More on that when I get the photos downloaded.
