What happened to Mayan Traditions?

I usually get the boys something from Guatemala for Christmas and gotcha days, but it looks like the Mayan Traditions store is gone! (They've had the 'we will open in a few days' message up for weeks now.) I've also been through everything that serrv sells. Does anyone know what happened to Mayan Traditions or know of another good source for Guatemalan fairly-traded items. (We can't post links to stores, but you might need to PM a reply.)

Thanks!!

As of the last time I placed an order a few months ago they were clearancing out the store to close it down to go do mission work in Guatemala.

I loved them and hope someone can suggest another site!

All links are allowed except for agency, facilitators, strictly adoption fee based services, and inappropriate/non-family friendly sites.

They did move down to Guatemala. Tom and his sons (from Guatemala) are missioning. There is another site that is wonderful. I ordered from there already this year.

Some additional ones you might want to check out:

* MayaWorks
* Indiko Handcrafts
* Maya Fair Trade
* Trama

If you can't find them (I can't remember if the Terms of Service allow me to post the links to commercial sites), let me know and I'll PM you the links.

These are all fair trade sites. Some of them carry products from other countries as well.
