Novica $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway~

Have you heard of Novica?

I'll let them take a moment to introduce themselves:

There is a nation of artist throughout the world-

a village of carvers in Bali;

a family of ceramists in Brazil who have handed down their craft

from generation to generation;

a farmer in the Andes who hand-weaves alpaca sweaters.

It is a community of artists who have been isolated

for centuries by distance, time and geography-

isolated from the very community of collectors seeking

their unique, inspired, and undiscovered arts and crafts.

Now, finally, there is a bridge connecting our separate 

communities into one worldwide nation-

this is the NOVICA nation.

Novica is a company associated with National Geographic working to open doors for crafters all over the world and give them the opportunity to sell to a worldwide market.

Today Novica is offering one lucky Poppies at Play reader a 

$50 Gift Certificate

to their site.

They really have an amazingly large selection of products to choose from.

Novica gave me a $50 gift certificate so I could give an honest review of the company

I chose this lovely dress 

Made by Aruna Singh

Aruna from the legendary 'Pink City' of Jaipur.

Her desire to become a designer was sparked as a child when she would dress her friends for plays and performances. As she got older she loved making alterations on every dress she bought.

One thing I really loved about Novica is being able to read all the personal stories of the artists.

I love having my new dress! Thank you Aruna!

Now it's your turn to have a chance to enjoy Novica products with a 

 $50 Gift Certificate 

Here's how to enter:

Pop on over to NOVICA and then come back here
