April 14, 2013 ----  Colorful Spring Tam / Beret Hats for your 18" Doll
to New Hats page

Spring is in the air as Maria, our 18" Doll, visits Posada Los Volcanes in Panajachel Guatemala.  She like other tourists, enjoys visiting the friendly family Posada (recognized by Trip Advisor as the #1 hotel for value and service in Pana).  Maria models the different colors of stylish spring hats that Mayan Artisan Lucia and her family made for Terra Experience.   The hats are good example of Mayan Artisans taking their traditional skills and adapting them into styles and products that appeal to tourists.
			I am putting the hits on the web today To purchase New Hats 4/14/2013

April 5, 2013 ---- Our shipment just came in (8 very large bags & two boxes)!!!  I've never had a better selection of Embroidered Tapestries.

March 13, 2012 --- Our shipment came in yesterday!!!!  I will be posting (almost) daily updates here in our news page
 and on facebook  on what has been added to the website from our 2012 shipment.  Today its embroidered folk tapestries.

March 8, 2012 -  Shipment is in Chicago, hopefully have in hand soon.  You might want to check out:

• Tapestries -  Lots of new ones for 2012 on: http://www.terraexperience.com/P_Mayan_Folk_Art_Tapestries_Guatemala.html
   
• Huipiles - On the bottom of each village's huipil page you can see pictures and numbers of many of the 2012 new huipils.
  Still have to add prices, dimensions, and shopping chart --- but you can influence which one's I tackle first with an email to
  Lynn@terraexperience.com with a question about one.
   
• San Juan La Laguna Tzutes and Table Runners.  Check out http://www.terraexperience.com/p_Textiles_San_Juan_La_Laguna_Guatemala_Tzutes_Shawls_Belts.htm

March 2, 2012 - Do you ever feel you can't keep up with the flow of time passing?  Well I certainly get that when I realize how long its been since I posted on this page.  Had good holiday sales after a very slow year last year --- thanks all!!! 

Just got back from 5 weeks in Guatemala.  Hope to post pictures of my friends as well as new huipils, doll clothes and many other things I bought.  The shipment is still in transit (hopefully comes in next two week) - but I have managed to get pictures of huipils I bought on the trip on each of the village huipil pages.  Let me know if you are interested in one.  Until they arrive I may have a hard time giving you dimensions and price -  but let me know of your interest and I will do what I can, and put them on the top of the list when they do arrive.   Lynn  lynn@terraexperience.com
