Lama

It's always exciting when a new online shops opens and particularly when it sells certain goods from one specific region in the world only ... please let me introduce Lama to you!

After one year of doing research, getting the right products together and finalize the technical website details Christine Martinez has opened her doors to this Latin American paradise, called Lama ... Christine always knew Latin America had so much more to offer than salsa and fiestas, coffee beans and bananas, sombreros and panama hats, because its ancient artisans have evolved into imaginative designers like Argentine design duo Coty Larguia and Eugenia Troncoso who make these sweet little series of decorative pillows.

...or from Argentina this super beautiful 'Teapot with a Cold' from Lola Goldstein and some great chopsticks holders.

...and some dazzling tableware from independent Brazilian artist Calu Fontes. He uses a range of techniques – hand painted images, illustrations, and graphic transfers – to create truly unique ultra-colored porcelain pieces. Each item is a hand-made and therefore one-of-a-kind ... and this is just a Small selection from what you can find and buy at Lama ... enjoy!

I completely agree w/ Kristin re: the pillows. I too know those drawings on the pillows. I founnd this site bcuz I was trying to find online the holly hobbie light up desk that i grew up with. I too know them by heart.

The pillows are really cute, but they look so much like the Holly Hobbie drawings that I had with a 1970's light up desk. I must have traced those a thousand times and they are remarkably similar. I couldn't find any good images online though to refresh my memory except a few on eBay. I certainly hope they are original.
