The Heart of Haiti

As Haiti continues its struggle to rebuild from the earthquake, this new collection of home decor is part of an effort to help re-establish Haiti’s once-thriving market in art and crafts.

I heard about the Heart of Haiti line on NPR yesterday.  Check out the full article if you’re interested.  Otherwise stop by the Heart of Haiti online or perhaps you’re near one of the 25 selected stores to have the merchandise in stock!

Here’s one excerpt from a Haitian artist deeply involved in the project..

Artist Pascale Faublas helped design and paint papier-mache trays, masks and other items in the collection. She also co-founded an association of artisans in Jacmel, a city on Haiti’s southern coast that was hit hard by the earthquake.

“We are working on rebuilding ourselves first. This action for example here today with Macy’s is one step in that sense — to get the artisans back to work,” Faublas says. 

I am enough.
