What's New at Terra Experience's Web

Happy late Summer!!!

Now have the Arte Maya 2011 Calendars Available!!!  They are beautiful. To order

Hope you have had a good summer.  I have spent a lot of it helping my 93 year old Dad who lives in his own house about 2 hours from my home.  So haven't had as much time to put things on the web as I wished.  Anyway, will be adding a lot more soon...

5/20/2010 ----  Just added a number of calendar huipils from Patzun
http://www.terraexperience.com/p_huipils_Patzun.html

Happy New Year ---

  • March 7, 2010 --- Yes, its been a busy New Year.  We went to Guatemala Jan 13 and came home Feb 9th.  As my husband Dave said - I helped the economy of Guatemala by buying lots of doll clothes and other neat stuff from old friends as well as well as made some new friends that eventually will bring new villages into Terra Experience's 18" doll wardrobe.  Lots of new scarves and other things that I need to add to the website.  We also have lots of doll hammocks, new "used" huipils and children's traje, traditional earings, Santos, paintings and much more.   The shipment came in last week.   I am behind getting stuff on because my 92 year old-Dad got pneumonia (he is doing better now) and my primary laptop's hard-drive had trouble (it is being replaced today - keep your fingers crossed I backed it up well).  I am limping by using gmail to respond to my email.  So please keep your emails and questions coming --- and send them again just in case they got lost when my hard-drive got into trouble.   Lynn   lynn@terraexperience.com

December 20, 2009 ---- Happy Holidays!!! 

Looking for a last minute gift:

October 10, 2009  ---- Whoops time flies again.  I've done a lot since I last wrote on this page.  Some of the stuff:

May 28, 2009 -  Time flies again.  Had great events at the beginning of May and then got lost in transplanting in my garden and wetland (its finally spring in Madison WI).  Started to rain so expect more additions to the Terra Experience Web.

  • May 9 - World Fair Trade Day (pictures coming)
  • Between April 30th and May 4th two Guatemalan speakers presented their powerful human rights stories at a number of different Madison venues. (Info on events)

    • Domingo Tum Mejia as part of a NISGUA tour will be spoke on Collective Memory, Collective Resistance to address the relation between wartime crimes and ongoing exploitation of rural indigenous communities in Guatemala.  
       

    • Critically acclaimed movie director Luis Argueta is in the post-production stage of  abUSed - The Postville Raid, the full-length documentary that tells the story of the most brutal, most expensive, and one of the largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the history of the United States.

March 15, 2009 -  Want to keep up with new products and what we just updated on our web site?  We just joined .You can become a friend and be the first to know what we have added.  Our twitter name is "terraexperience". I think you can reach it at http://twitter.com/terraexperience     Just for those of you who like me didn't know what Twitter is - "Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?"  I have thought about a blog or newsletter - but this seems easier.  Let me know what you think lynn@terraexperience.com

March 12, 2009 - Just Added Many new Santos to our web site. Check out: http://www.terraexperience.com/p_wood_santos_figures.htm

March 3, 2009 --- Many New  Tapestries added.  Check out http://terraexperience.com/P_Mayan_Folk_Art_Tapestries_Guatemala.html

Feb 17 2009 --- Back from Guatemala.  Our shipment just arrived.  It will take a while to get things listed.  Please keep checking back.  Things we have updated are:

  • Tapestries (have added some of the new ones we brought back with us

Feb 16 2009 --- How to put a huipile on a doll? One of my customers had trouble putting a Santa Catarina Doll Huipil on her doll while we were in Guatemala and I promised I would demonstrate how to do it. I hoped to have one of the weaver's daughters demonstrate, but ran out of time.  The basic hint is to put the dolls arms up as you put the huipil on.  If you are still having trouble, check out "How to put a huipil on your doll". I don't think you are going to have any problems, but if you do please let me know - so I can find a solution for you and improve our products in the future.  Thanks Lynn@terraexperience.com

Jan 18 - Feb 8th --- We are in Guatemala visiting friends and finding out what neat things we can buy from them.  We can't ship while we are in Guatemala  ---- but if you aren't in a hurry, you can buy something and we will ship soon after we get back (probably around Feb 10th.  In case two people buy two of a unique item such as a hupil, the first to purchase gets priority (my web site doesn't automatically remove an item when sold). I do check my email every so often while in Guatemala.

Keep warm, and do come back and check out what we found!    Lynn@terraexperience.com

December 1, 2008 ---- We just added a Not Quite Perfect Huipil page.  Contact us if you see one you like.

November 27, 2008 --- Happy Thanksgiving!!!  I have been busy and have lots of new doll outfits, huipils etc. but just haven't had time to keep up with the news. So please check out our inventory.  I think you will like it.  Lynn

September 14, 2008 --- I've been delinquent on keeping this dialogue up to let you know what is new.  Just added 35 new huipils to the site (mostly Chajul, Chichi, Nahuala, and a variety of others). I'll be adding more soon.

March 31, 2008 --- Madison Guatemala Network to host Guatemala speaker April 20-23rd

March 27, 2008   --- Coming soon Traje for Girls and Dolls

February 14, 2008 ---

February 12, 2008 ---   whoa - Time flies.  Hope you had good holidays and start of new year.  In Madison we have beat our snow record with over 76" so far this winter.  We went to Guatemala for 2 1/2  weeks where  my Sony H2 camera had the shutter button drop off (worthless) and when I got back my laptop crashed (now with new motherboard and screen - thanks to Dell's extended warranty). Both are fixed and I am almost caught up to where I was at the beginning of the year with lots of new stuff from Guatemala that I am gradually adding.  Some things I've managed to update so far:

November 24 ---  Terra Experience's doll clothes were identified by COOP America as one of "10 Green Toys for the Holidays"!!!  Check out http://www.coopamerica.org/programs/shopunshop/10GreenToys.cfm

Green Toys    Doll ClothesFrom the article:

6. Doll clothes – The owner of Terra Experience follows the Fair Trade Federation model, by keeping close ties with her producer partners in Guatemala. She partners with Mayan weavers to offer high-quality traditional outfits that fit 18” and other sized dolls. Terra Experience commits to paying a living wage, supporting environmental protection projects within the producer community, and has ongoing relationships with producer partners. The Terra Experience Web site includes a full breakdown of payments and benefits to the producer group so shoppers can follow where their dollars are going. Line of products includes dolls; hand-woven doll outfits; doll accessories like hats, bags, aprons, and jewelry; and children’s books about the Mayan culture.

October 23, 2007 --   2008 Arte Maya Calendars are finally here!

September 2007 --- Whoa what a July and August it was!  Helped my Dad celebrate his 90th birthday in July and then in August he ended up in the hospital with pneumonia.  He is doing well now and is safely at home enjoying his view of the migrating white pelicans along the Mississippi.  In Madison we had the wettest August (actually month) on record with over 15" of rain. No sandbags, but the natural wetland I planted after our last flood needed some restoration work.  Anyway - I'm back focusing on the Terra Experience web and just put over 50 new Huipiles on our web site and have others to add.  Please check our huipil page out.

  Click the picture to Watch a You Tube Video of Josefina Relaxing in her Hammock. Can you name the birds you hear?

 Note I am just learning how to put together videos and get them on you tube.  Once I figure it out I will upload some clips I took in January this year and hopefully have them directly on my site.  I have to find some young expert to help me. 

  
June 11, 2007 --- Fair Trade Commitment I finally have found time to pull together a web page that explains and documents Terra Experience's Commitment to Fair Trade and Environmental Responsibility and some of the actions we are taking to meet that commitment.  I attended the Fair Trade Federation's Conference in Washington D.C. earlier this month and realized I really had to take the time to get this down in black and white.  If you have questions, comments, suggestions I welcome them.  Our
 Commitment
 to F

Mark your calendars - the American Girl Doll Sale is Saturday July 21 and Sunday July 22.  We will be at a new location.  2230 Pinehurst Drive --- just around the corner from where we have been in past years.  Please look for us there.

May 6, 2007 ---  I am finally getting time to update my web site (I retired from 32 years with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in January and also bought a new digital camera).  I just put together information and pictures about the weavers that Terra Experience has worked with to make its doll clothes as well as artists and artisans we have regularly bought from over the past 5 to 8 years as Terra Experience has gradually grown.  We will be adding more in the near future. But in the meantime please check out:

May 10, 2004 - I can finally update the Terra Experience web (see note below).  Check back to see our new stuff soon!!!

May 7, 2004 -  I am really glad you are able to read our news!!!   If you have any trouble using or accessing the Terra Experience Site - please contact lynn@terraexperience.com .  

My apologies if you have been looking for our site and not able to find it during the past week.  Our long-standing webhost Dellhost stopped providing service and sold our account to another company who then again sold the account to Purehost last month. The experience has not been good. The Terra Experience web site was down for the last 7 days and  I have not yet been able to get access to my web to update it via Frontpage or FTP (I am updating this page via an incredibly inefficient option) since Purehost took over.  Hopefully things will be better soon and we will be able to add all our new huipiles and doll outfits to the site!!!  

March 1, 2004 - We are back from a wonderful trip to Guatemala.  Just added many new paintings that we brought back to the Terra Experience Web site.   We will be adding lots of other neat stuff too!!!

New children's  books!   A number of people have asked if I had the book "My Name is Ana Maria ... and I'm from Guatemala".  We managed to track down some copies and have also added some other good books to our selection.
