A Taste of Africa

If you are coming to Boston, and you ask someone what you should eat, they might suggest clam chowder, a lobster roll, and maybe a slice of Boston cream pie for dessert. If you ask someone who grew up in South Africa what makes them think of home, they would tell you about Mrs. Ball's Chutney, Marmite, Biltong, Rooibos Tea or honey & nut soft nougat made by hand .

While in South Africa we discovered a new product we had never before seen, an incredibly delicious Nougat Shortbread Biscuit aptly named Angels. The only way to get more was to bring it back to the United States. We are pleased to distribute and Import Walters Nougat to the USA. Starting mid February 2011 we added Ginger & Almond Nougat Bars and Bonbons. And last but not least a Real Belgian Chocolate covered Nougat available in bar format and Gift Box.

       Hand Crafted Bags

If I had to define these Art Cloths, I would call them happy. Decorated with enchanting scenes drawn from African life, each one is individually hand painted. Scenes may include a combination of animals, villages, the breathtaking African night sky, or whatever the artist chooses; no two are exactly alike, but each is a brightly-painted delight. The colors are bold and cheerful. They evoke a childlike perspective, full of wonder and smiles, celebrating life under the South African sky.

Our Organic Cards are made from Recyled paper, Clay, feathers, plant life, ores,and much more from our earth. Each handmade card is 3 dimensional with themes from Africa. The inside is left blank so that you may add your personal thoughts. These Beautiful Cards are so unique that many people frame them and put on there walls for display!
