Greetings!

Olive Tree in SummerSummer greetings from the Holy Land!  Thanks for reading this issue of InTouch from Glad Tidings.

 

Summer is a busy family time for the local people here at our workshop - particularly with weddings.  Since most of them are part of large extended families, it's not unusual for them to have one or more weddings to go to every week!  And, because the culture here is so hospitable, we as foreigners are often invited. 
 
In spite of these increased family commitments, however, our artisans are still working hard to provide you with high-quality olive wood products.  Over the past year, we've added some popular new pieces to our line of kitchen and tabletop products.  In this issue of InTouch, we've highlighted a number of these, as well as introducing Abu Mitri - one of our skilled artisans working on these products.
  
And, don't miss our summer kitchen items sale described below!
 
Blessings,
Dan, Elizabeth, Lisa, Lynn & Paula
The Glad Tidings Holy Land Team

Artisan Introduction
Abu Mitri Making a Fish Bowl
Abu Mitri Making a Fish Bowl
  

Born near Bethlehem, 

Abu Mitri learned his skills at his father's knee, and has now been carving olive wood for more than 50 years!  In addition to making many of our spoons, forks and bowls, he is also one of the region's most skilled camel carvers.

  

  
  
Abu Mitri
Products that Abu Mitri makes for Glad Tidings include salad server sets, fish bowls, oval bowls, spatulas and more. We're happy to be able to benefit both him and our customers by making his high-quality work available!

Custom camels made by Abu Mitri are available upon request.  Carefully sculpturing each one out of a single block of wood, he is only able to make a very limited number of these handcrafted treasures each year.  Typical sizes are 8-inch (height at hump), 10-inch and 12-inch.  Also available in kneeling designs.  Please email us to ask about these!
