Should you ditch the mask if you, like us, are fully vaccinated? We have opted to continue wearing masks in public settings. Aside from the proliferation of the Covid variants here, there's this: while typically a cold bug will sweep through our house two or three times a year, none of us in our family has had even the sniffles since mask wearing began. As for us, though we are fully vaccinated, we are going to continue wearing our masks in public, especially in indoor settings or in large gatherings of people, indoors or out. Not just to protect ourselves from Covid-19, but also from colds and flu and other infectious diseases. We want to maintain that good health track record.
If you work in a setting that requires face masks, if you are unable to be vaccinated, or if you live in parts of the world where vaccines are not as readily available––or if you are fully vaccinated and wish to err on the side of caution (that's our approach): our face masks are a good option. These triple layer masks come to us from an extended family in Chiapas, Mexico. The family's income, based mostly on tourism, came to a grinding halt in March of 2020... but being resourceful, they turned their skills toward making embroidered face masks that summer.
We received one last shipment of masks in 2021, and now, the family has decided to focus again on their traditional hand-embroidered wares. We'll continue to sell their masks (and we've lowered the price to only $10, too!) but we've also begun offering some of their other wares––beautiful handmade table runners, embroidered ornaments, and handwoven textile market bags––you'll find their work on our catalog pages now. We have been so pleased to bring their work to you and to partner with you to help them through a tough time, and it is our goal to always support them this way, through your transactional support. From us and them: Thank you!
