http://mothdesigns.etsy.com.Mary E. Robbins sent me this fantastic shirt for my husband who is an organic farmer and gardener. She is a seller on Etsy.com who has the shop mothdesings. Her tee-shirts have a wonderful message of promoting cultural competency and understanding. Not only is Mary Robbin's work beautiful and well crafted, but it is also meaningful in the way that it teaches one word of the arabic language at a time so that people who come into contact with her work are connecting with the arab community. My husband can't wait to show off his new shirt at our community garden!
