Come on in and get cozy....

Today I thought I might offer an official "Grand Tour" of our blog. There's a good little bit to see, so grab a cup of hot tea and settle in. It shouldn't take too long.

Main blog entries will be divided into several categories:

Money For Morocco: A running tally (updated monthly) of just how much profit has been raised via website sales of Moroccan products.
Stories of Hope: Stories and images detailing the return of profits to the Moroccan people and the positive changes that result.

Lela�s Travels: Follow my travels as I journey through the Middle East and Africa, providing interesting photos and insights into indigenous life.

Coming Soon & New Arrivals: Sneak peeks of what�s due for delivery in our next shipment and what�s hidden inside the crates fresh off our docks.

Consumer Polls: Your opinions are invaluable! We�ll offer frequent polls to see what Moroccan goods you�d like to see offered and how you'd like the resulting funds to be spent.

In addition, we'll have a monthly product spotlight- featuring my personal favorite product-of-the-moment. Many of these treasures will be offered in extremely limited quantities, so if you love it, don't hesitate. Over there on the right, you'll notice a Photo Album. These are pictures of people and places in Morocco, and I've snapped each and every one of them during one of my journeys there. We'll add new photos to the album with each trip and each page refresh of this blog will bring up a new image. You're welcome to click to enlarge and see a bit more detail.

Just below the Photo Album, you'll see a box where really savvy folk can sign up for our newsletter which will contain exclusive discounts, special offers and sneak peeks the general public won't ever get to lay there pretty eyes on. Don't you want to be among the lucky few? There's also a search box so you can comb through past entries on a rainy day. In the very bottom of that right column, you'll see lots of groovy ways you can stay connected with us here at From Morocco, With Love. There's an RSS feed option, plus a button to connect you to us on Facebook and Twitter...I'd love to see you there, too.

Along the very bottom, those postcards are more photos from my Moroccan travels. That's a pottery shop from Marrakech on the left, followed by: the famous blue boats of Essaouira, a woman contemplating the sea in Sebta and a soap shop in Chefchaouen. The little postcard in the middle? Squint your eyes and you might be able to make it out: a love note from me to my babies while I am away. :)

Hope you enjoyed the mini-tour. Also hope that you'll join us frequently to share my passion for Morocco and my hopes for changing the world, one pair of leather slippers at a time.
