Do you ever fall in love with pieces of art while you’re traveling and wish later that you had purchased it?  Maybe, you aren’t able to travel but want to experience local art?  NOVICA is an awesome website, in association with National Geographic,  that has come up with a way to help you in both of these areas!

When we went on our first real vacation as a couple, my husband bought this mask in Jamaica. It is a little different but since then I’ve tried to find a mask at different places we have visited. However, I think I may have missed getting one while we were in the Dominican Republic with World Vision last year. If I wanted, I could hop onto NOVICA and search to see if there are any masks in that region!

NOVICA give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity.  They give people like us access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values!  NOVICA wants you to feel an attachment to the product you’re buying and and the hands that made it.  They don’t charge artists for posting items on their website and the artists remain fully independent.

With Father’s Day coming up, check out some of the amazing things they have.  You’ll be the talk of father’s day as everyone thinks you went to an exotic location just for dad’s gift!  If your guy is into chess, you should check out some of the cool chess sets they offer!  For the next week they are also offering FREE shipping on most items!

A Business Opportunity
NOVICA is just starting a home based business company called NOVICA Live.  If you have been looking for a business where the market isn’t saturated this is your opportunity to start very early!  It’s a really neat idea, you bring a in-home travel experience to each party as guests learn about the countries and artisans that are making the products.   You’ll earn commissions of 20-30% or more as you advance, plus they have fun trips every year to go and meet the artisans and visit areas that NOVICA is working with (this year it’s an all expenses paid trip to Bali).
