As you might guess, with anything made by hand, some mistakes can creep in.  Ever replaced a button with one that was a little too small?  Added almond extract instead of vanilla to the cookies? Did you throw them out?  No, you made lemonade from those lemons!  So with our Haitian art, items with small imperfections aren't discarded. Say the finish isn't quite uniform or a hanger is missing.  Why toss it out?  It is functional and beautiful in it's own unique, imperfect way. Additionally, "mistakes" are part of a learning process for young artists. We buy pieces that are less than perfect to encourage those who are just starting out but point out flaws as a means of teaching standards of quality. This enables them to buy more materials and keep working, and ultimately become successful.  By buying any of these imperfect pieces, which we offer at a discounted rate, you help us help them.  Now, doesn't that feel good?
