I have been there at leat a dozen times in the 5 trips I have taken to Costa Rica. Three years ago I brought in a picture of a cat owned by a friend of mine and the Columbian tile ladies painted the cat on a tile and fired it and framed it and my friend Marilyn loved it. I have bought small coconut ivory carvings, wall hangings, serving dishes and many ceramic tile coasters and trivets and look forward to many more. It is my favorite store in San Jose. Thanks to all the staff who could not be more accomodating and helpful. Look forward to going back and visiting and shopping. Hopefully you will get more Bruka forest animal carvings, they look great. Jerry (from Palo Alto, Ca) I really enjoy shopping at your store, I have bought glazed tiles with animal figures on them.

I would have bought more, especially some of those nut carvings. Next time, I will! Your place is like a little museum packed with treasures on every shelf, table and wall. It has a soul, the soul of all the indigenous people who lovingly create these beautiful works of art. Thank you for creating such a place. I above all remember our long and lovely conversation about Costa Rica real estate (I was looking for a property to buy), among other things. When I received your email, it brought back so many good memories of my last trip to your country. The pieces I brought back make me smile often (especially the monkey and the shamans). I wish you all the best and hope to visit you again in the near future. Isabelle (from Paris, France, via Toronto, Canada) Hello Aisling,
