The tree of life resonates deep for much of humanity, being a motif in various world theologies, mythologies, philosophies and biological sciences. Whichever way you sway, it is an awesome tree.

Achieving eternal life by consuming the fruit, holding together nine Norse worlds or representing the evolutionary divergence of all living creatures is all pretty grand.

But how about this.. The Celtic Tree of life symbolises the forces of nature coming together in perfect harmony to maintain balance in the universe.

We could all do with a bit more balance in our lives! If you are interested in the Tree of Life you may like to take a look at these...

Story

Siesta Crafts was started in 1983 by Chris and Les Harper with a market stall selling handicrafts that were brought back from their travels from Mexico and Guatemala (hence the name!).

They now import directly from suppliers in countries all over the world on a Fair Trade basis and they are proud to be a member of the British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers.

They specialise in unusual and interesting gifts. In this day and age of anodyne, cloned town high streets, it is good to see they have a vibrant, colourful presence with a wide range of unique and colourful handcrafted and fair trade items.

Their intention is that by trading with their producers they are helping them to achieve economic self-sufficiency, whilst simultaneously bringing to their customers the skills and crafts of other cultures.
