As you know, fair trade products are sourced directly from the artisan who creates a product made from ethically-sourced materials.<\/p><p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">Many of my products I have sourced directly from the craftsman in Mexico, and some have even become good friends. Papaya Arts is also a Ten Thousand Villages Alliance partner. Ten thousand Villages is the largest Fair-Trade maker to market non-profit organization in the world.<\/p><p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">Whether I source directly from the painters, glass-blowers, ceramicist, jewelers, dressmakers, etc., or through my affiliation with Ten Thousand Villagers or several other non profit organizations, I feel I have helped make life a little better for people by knowing that we have eliminated the middleman and the artisans have been paid a fair price (usually upfront so that they can purchase their materials)for their work. It has a naturally draw for people who care about the world and its resources, and especially knowing that their purchase did not contribute to the often unjust manner in which third-parties source their products. My customers especially enjoy learning about the meaning of the piece and the culture from which it originated.<\/p><p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">Papaya Arts also carries unique handmade jewelry creations, most of them are one of a kind pieces that are handmade by the owner who has been silversmithing for over 20 years.<\/p><p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">Eclectic home decor, clothing, accessories, wall decor and garden decor is also part of the inventory.<\/p><p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">It has been a journey of learning, fun, god and tough times, amazingly including a pandemic. Papaya Arts has found a new home on St Simons Island GA. I look forward to meeting you!!!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42bbf36 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"42bbf36\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-529bb1e img-who-we-are elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"529bb1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.17.0 - 08-11-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papayaarts.nubead.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/puertas-papaya-arts-710x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-37\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papayaarts.nubead.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/puertas-papaya-arts-710x1024.jpg 710w, https:\/\/papayaarts.nubead.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/puertas-papaya-arts-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/papayaarts.nubead.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/puertas-papaya-arts-768x1107.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papayaarts.nubead.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/puertas-papaya-arts-1065x1536.jpg 1065w, https:\/\/papayaarts.nubead.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/puertas-papaya-arts.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Papaya Arts opened its doors on December 08 2008, in the City of Dunkirk, NY.
