Gladiator-esque cuffs...coming soon!
While I am somewhat saddened to tell you that our gorgeous Berber Enamel Cuff has sold out, I find solace in the fact that 'll be trying to restock them on my upcoming trip to Essaouira in June.
I also have some very exciting jewelry news along those same lines. How much do we love this Gladiator cuff?
<.center>
I've been jokingly calling it my "Wonderwoman Bracelet" and wearing it about town for weeks now and it's been the subject of near-constant chatter. That's the prototype and I'll be picking up a handful in Morocco this summer and hope to have them on the website by late July. Stay tuned!

From Morocco, With Love hits the road...
Last week, I packed up a variety of Moroccan luxuries, brochures and framed pictures of the kids from our first adopted school in Morocco and headed to Denver, Colorado for the annual HSMG Conference. I had been invited in 2009 to speak at the conference about export opportunities for personal care manufacturers on behalf of my "other" business (Bella Luccè). This year, the Powers That Be were gracious enough to invite me back to sit on an FDA Legislative Panel and they generously donated a vendor table to From Morocco, With Love. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to help spread the word about our nonprofit and did a little happy dance every time another email announcing a website order came through on my Blackberry. Thanks to all who stopped by and helped us spread the word!

Ouch! Moroccan slippers for $139?
I should preface this post by saying that I love Viva Terra's catalog. Love, love, love it. I order from them several times a year and enjoy their blend of chic styling with ecological commitment. But I nearly fell out of bed last night while flipping through their catalogue. Why?
Those are drop-dead gorgeous leather slippers. Straight from Morocco. FOR $139.
You could certainly go that route, but may I suggest that you save almost $100 and check out our lovely selection for women at just $40? Your purchase will provide five chickens to an indigenous Berber family.
Or our supple leather slippers for men at just $45? The purchase of which provides three roosters to a local family?
Those prices left me a wee bit gobsmacked. Think of what you could do with $100 extra dollars! My mind reels with possibilities...

If you happen to be in Denver...
Last year, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild conference on behalf of my "other" venture, Bella Luccè. I had the most wonderful time meting people from across the country and teaching them about how to export their personal care products around the world. This year, the powers that be were kind enough to invite me back to sit on an FDA Legislative Panel and they generously donated a vendor table to From Morocco, With Love. I know that we have a lot of readers in the beauty industry...if you happen to be at the Inverness Hotel for the conference, please stop by to say hello, see some of our Moroccan luxuries in person and pick up a discount card for future purchases on this website. I fly out to Denver this morning to attend the conference and promise to post pictures upon my return.

Don't forget- Mother's Day is May 9th!
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. May we suggest you treat Mum to some decadent Moroccan luxuries? You can show her your devotion and bless those in faraway lands simultaneously- and we think that’s truly the spirit of the day...nourishing those in need. Some of our favorite gift suggestions for Mum:
Sparkling Leather Slippers: $40
Small Handmade Luxe Platter: $30
Rest assured that, no matter which handmade luxury you select, we'll swaddle each one in our signature blue tissue, nestle it inside a gift box made with recycled fibers, tuck in a narrative card explaining the history of the piece and the impact your gift has made on the indigenous people of Morocco and seal it all with our logo. Can't decide? We offer handsome gift certificates, styled as Moroccan postcards.
Through May 5th, we invite you to save 10% on every order by entering code MOTHER in the coupon box at checkout from www.FromMoroccoWithLove.com.
We wish each of you a wonderful Mother's Day full of joy and peace.
