*** Don't Miss New Product SALE ***
SALE: $40 |
We have beautiful new products from Rwanda and Cozumel, Mexico. Founder Mary Schnack just completed speaking engagements at a conference in Cozumel, Mexico, and in Dallas to women from Rwanda and Afghanistan for Peace Through Business. Of course, she took these opportunities to source new products for Up from the Dust, including jewelry, drums, baskets and sculptures.
SALE: $45 |
Take advantage of the great sales on these new products during the month of August! Every single new item is on sale with significant reductions! And we've reduced the prices on some of our other products, too. The women are hoping we place some significant new orders for the Christmas season. We have to do that now to get them by November, so we want great sales this month!
SALE: $40 or $70 for the set |
Let us know if you'd like to schedule a home party before the holidays-or during the holiday shopping season. Some US women business owners have found that this is a great way to augment a holiday party or an open house-that having the focus of the event being on the Up from the Dust mission and "unique shopping" makes their get-togethers more meaningful and less self-serving. Remember, the "parties" can also be virtual.
