but it's a very emotional experience

The seeing is more important
than the photo

The goal is not to change the subjects, but the subjects to change
the photographer

Bonjour!

There's nothing like walking into a home with the smell of some sort of spice that has permeated the air....instantly your taste buds are tantalized and memories seem to flood your mind...

The Spice trade began around 2000 BC!
Here's a little history for you to read

Spices and Travel go hand in hand...whether you visit a nutmeg processor
in Grenada, the spice markets in Istanbul or just tasting the regional cuisine



Many of us use Spice Island products, and you really MUST spend some time
on their website...

There's information on how to use and store each spice, recipes galore and that's just beginning!

As you wander the website and with any journey that you take you will also be able to experience the history and view artwork that you never imagined!

When we 1st saw these unique spice creations, we were so intrigued!



Here are a few youtube videos on how they were made....enjoy!
