Happy Independence Day, Guatemala! 199 years ago, Guatemala (along with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua) achieved independence from Spain. Google produced a Doodle featuring the Guatemalan flag. My multicolor striped tie was handmade in Guatemala by "Lily" and was purchased in Berea, KY, through Fair Trade. We support Fair Trade as the best economic model to insure that workers in other countries get good wages and good working conditions. Besides clothes and accessories (including neckties), we always seek Fair Trade options for coffee, premium chocolates, jewelry and other gift items from foreign lands. We've found it tough to locate Fair Trade bananas.
