Matter of the Heart

As the months pass, one of the most fun ways to decorate is by inviting people in and hanging a cheery wreath on the front door. We are feeling the love at FYC and are stocked with beautiful wreaths, that are Valentine's Day worthy.



A seasonal touch conveys a warm welcome; and what better way than by displaying hearts? Depending on your taste or color scheme, we have decor sure to warm your heart. Choose a traditional wreath made of nature's green leaves and foliage. A heart-shaped boxwood is a perfect, yet subtle touch.















Surround yourself with love with a romantic display of rose petals. Valentine's Day decorating will help create an affectionate atmosphere for your loved ones. Spice up your space in the spirit of Valentine's Day! Express your affection and decorate your home with a darling love inspired wreath.

Loving Lily and Laura

Laura has always been passionate about art, travel, and the world's cultures.  She has enjoyed visiting over 30 countries. After earning a degree in art history she settled in Nepal for seven years beginning in  1996.  She stayed in Nepal because she loved the people and beauty of this wonderful country.  It was then that she grew to enjoy clothing and accessory design.    She discovered the Nepali women's crocheted bracelets and decided to devote her energy to helping her women friends make them something truly special.  In Laura's words "Each bracelet is a little piece of artwork."   The women artists are passionate about making the Lily and Laura  bracelets they crochet very special.  After more than seven years of innovation and dedication we are happy to be able to provide our Lily and Laura  bracelets to you.



Only the finest glass beads in the world in our  bracelets are used for the bracelets. The business focus is to pay more than fair trade wages to our artisans in Nepal, thereby improving the quality of their lives while providing you with beautiful, top quality handcrafted glass beaded bracelets. 
Our Lily and Laura  bracelets are hand crocheted by our  women in Nepal  bead by bead. Our artisans create in the comfort of their homes and in the sunshine on their rooftop decks with their families nearby.  No two bracelets are exactly alike. FYC currently is carrying our newest shipment of stunning fall colors so you can custom pick your bracelets based on color preference. Fashion and fair trade; a perfect match! Mix and match for yourself or they make wonderful gifts!
