Good Karma Party: Our Next Step: Crowdfunding
http://goodkarmaparty.blogspot.com/2012/10/our-next-step-crowdfunding.html
Friday, October 19, 2012. Our Next Step: Crowdfunding. Last week I spent four days at SOCAP - also known as Social Capital Markets – a convergence of social entrepeneurs and investors who are looking to make an impact in the world. I went partly to learn from other entrepreneurs, partly to learn more about the whole impact investing world. For many of the residences of West Oakland, getting high quality fresh vegetables and other groceries would mean several bus trips or expensive cab services. He said t...

Thursday, October 27, 2011. Eve Blossom of Lulan Artisans. Here's a great article. About Eve Blossom, the creator of Lulan Artisans.

Wednesday, November 05, 2014. Khadi Threatened As A Brand. Since India opened its economy in the 90s, the government seems to be repeatedly caught by surprised by the need to protect the collective intellectual property of Indian culture. One of our khadi fabrics. Faded Denim" is one of our most popular khadi scarves/. My parents grew up using a neem twig to clean their teeth and gums every morning and you can still see small twigs for sale in village markets. Since then this case has become an internati...

Good Karma Party: A Bride's Lament
http://goodkarmaparty.blogspot.com/2012/06/brides-lament.html
Friday, June 08, 2012. So I disappeared again – but you’ll have to forgive me. It was really for the best reason: love. Yes, it happened to me this year. By this time next week, I’ll be able to change my FB status to “married.”. I decided to do a ‘modern’ version of an Indian wedding - partly to please my parents and partly because I wanted all those clothes an Indian bride gets! I’m such a glutton.I have four different outfits over two days. Much more his style and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Good Karma Party: Fuschia or Peach?
http://goodkarmaparty.blogspot.com/2012/06/fuschia-or-peach.html
Friday, June 08, 2012. One of the things I love about my business is that – when it comes to fabrics and clothing – I’m really am able to live my philosophy. So many times, I’d like to buy ‘Made in the U.S.’ to keep people employed here but if you’ve every tried it, it’s more difficult that it sounds! First thing you have to do it get rid of your beloved iphone…and that’s not going to happen. Now I can’t make up my mind! Help me pick a color! The fuscia is so beautifully bold, like u! I am thinking yes.

Good Karma Party: July 2009
http://goodkarmaparty.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 04, 2009. I went to the village and was renewed. I always feel so inspired by going to the people who make the goods: to see their life, their struggles and the art they so carefully produce. It really amazes me, even all these years later.so much effort, so much struggle! If the handloom market dries up – what choice does a landless, uneducated man or woman really have in India? This 74-year old man has been weaving for more than 50 years. He said in an interview that this is the only...
