Last month our friend, Rabbi Michoel Goldin invited us to Chabbad House in Teaneck to conduct a benefit instrument making workshop with his teen group. In advance we prepared kits for the construction of 35 mbiras (aka kalimbas or thumb pianos) to be donated to the children staying at Shelter Our Sisters - Bergen County's network of shelters for victims of domestic violence and abuse. A speaker from SoS gave a very moving talk about her own experience of domestic abuse while the group worked on their mbiras. Congratulations to Rabbi Goldin for his outstanding work in the community, particularly with this group of teens. Several came to the shop later in the week to help us finish up the mbiras that needed more work. This was a great example of Tikkun Olam ("repairing the world") in action.

Tiger Weddings is up and running. (Like a tiger.)
Our new website, Tiger Weddings, is up and running. We hope you'll take a look at the site and browse our bridal bouquet, centerpiece and ceremony galleries. Let us know what you think. We're looking forward to a busy wedding season with many brides who are trying to create wedding celebrations that are consistent with their values. We take our role in these celebrations seriously, and enjoy the process of helping couples infuse their weddings with a healthy dose of Style + Green. We're still one of the very few shops in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area that is consistently providing organic and Fair Trade flowers for weddings and special events.
Please feel free to send a link to our site to any prospective brides you might know. The Tigers are waiting!
Our thanks to Eddie Pagan from Buddha Beans Web Design for making it happen.
