Hope for Women Notecards

$5.50

El Salvador

Most greeting cards get moved to a shoebox — or, among ingrates, the trash — after a celebration. But, chances are your recipient will want to display these cards, blank on the inside. The Salvadoran women who draw the front images attach things like real, dried flowers to add another dimension — and higher hair.
