I found this at a little artisan stand today…
but first a bit of history of it…
The woman that had the stand co-founded a company called eco-coco… and they import fair trade coconut products… the shell of the coconut is usually thrown away but they realized that sanding it down actually makes them gorgeous and now they make products out of that and pay the workers 2X the minimum wage…
http://www.ecococo.org/ is their site (in french only)
So here is my new little treasure…
