“When you believe beyond what your eyes can see, signs from heaven show up to remind you that love never dies.” If you're missing someone special this holiday season, perhaps a sign from Heaven brings a sweet memory to mind. And for many of us, a vibrant red cardinal is that symbol. The Here With Us Cardinal Ornament reads: Always missed, but never forgotten.
Hang this handmade ornament as a reminder that the people no longer here on Earth continue to be with us in spirit. Handpainted and laser-cut by artisans in Colombia, the detailed red cardinal perches on a beautiful birch tree. The back of the ornament is blank, a perfect place for a personal message, a handwritten note.
Here With Us Cardinal Ornament
Handmade in Colombia by Sapia
"Sapia, formerly Piel Acida, was originally conceived in 1995 by Ana Piedrahita, an entrepreneur in Colombia‘s capital city of Bogota. Piedrahita had seen a box from Uruguay that was produced from dried orange peel, and recognized the potential for producing a wide array of unique and intriguing items from this material. She decided to pursue a business specializing in the design and production of the products. The organization was formally registered in 2000.Sapia has incorporated fair trade principles in its operation, as it seeks to develop the artisan-based handicraft sector in Colombia. While Colombia has recently achieved a relatively good macroeconomic climate, people in the lower income brackets continue to face serious challenges. They have used their sales growth as an opportunity to reach out to other artisan groups in rural areas of the country.
