Believe me, it is a wonderful experience. The gift store's mission is to "create hope, dignity and independence by supporting artisans from developing countries." There was pottery, books, purses, jewelry, baskets, wall hangings, metal works; the list could go on and on. It was fascinating to wander around the store and read the stories of the artisans and marvel at the workmanship.
I picked up a few Christmas gifts and the vase in the picture for myself.
The next time you're in Omaha, stop in at Blue Summit and try the "experience" for yourself.

Beautiful piece -- can you tell us about it?
It's made out of onyx. I wish I could remember which country. I might have to take another trip to the store to refresh my memory of where the vase was made.
