We're Back - With Some New Designs!

Seasons Greetings from Island Breeze Handmade Cards!

     Yes, it's been awhile since we last posted on this blog. But that doesn't mean we haven't been active.  We've just been working with friends and Island-Breeze carders more on a one-to-one basis and in a more personal level.  We've also had quite a few new designs, which we would like to show you.

     As always, it's the resourceful mothers on the small islands of San Miguel and Cagraray in Albay, Philippines, who continue to produce these unique handmade cards.

     Take a look at what they are doing, and drop us a line if you're interested!  Our e-mail is still the same: islandbreezeph@gmail.com.  Hope to hear from you and Merry Christmas! :-)

                                                                                       Sincerely,
                                                                                        Island Breeze Staff

Handmade Cards

These cards are proudly made from all natural Philippine materials, most of which can be found on the small island of San Miguel located just off the coast of Albay, Bicol. The card itself is made from Abaca and banana fibers, the woven mat from papaya leaves and the stars from Karagumoy, a common plant on San Miguel used for making sleeping mats. The envelope is made of recycled paper.

Besides providing income for the residents of San Miguel and the neighboring island of Cagraray, proceeds from these cards will help fund spiritual projects for the youth and help develop livelihood projects.

For information on ordering these or other native cards made on these islands please feel free to email us at: islandbreezeph@gmail.com

God Bless
