We all knew it was just a matter of time: Tiger Lily making it big.
Well, sort of. Last Monday we entertained a film crew from NBC's HD program, HouseSmarts, hosted by the Today Show's home and garden expert, Lou Manfredini (http://www.housesmartstv.com/).
This installment, part of their regular segment they call "Green Piece," will feature Fair Trade and where consumers can purchase Fair Trade products. It will air in late June or early July.
We are very grateful to producer Tina Cowles who found us, Darbi Worley, who asked the tough questions ("Why Fair Trade?") and their crew. They shot lots of B-roll of our Fair Trade products including our FT flowers, sports equipment from Fair Trade Sports, and our recycled materials gift collection. The best part for us was being able to supply photographs of our artisans, such as Orapin In-Aksorn from the Fuen Fu ("Rehabilitation") collective in northern Thailand. We're imagining what it will be like for some these folks to see themselves and their work on television and the web.
We're sending a huge shout out to One World Flowers, Larry's Beans and David Atlas of Artisans Emporia who helped us get our shelves stocked for a tv shoot the day after Mother's Day.
We'll keep you posted on the eventual air time and how you can see the segment over and over and over again on the "innernet."
