Grand Opening of Peaceful Gaia Gifts

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - June 15, 2013 - PRLog -- We'd like to welcome to stop by Peaceful Gaia Gifts at www.peacefulgaia.com!  Peaceful Gaia is a collaboration of artists and small businesses.  We provide you with handmade, upcycled, recycled, eco-friendly, and/or organic items that are all made here in the U.S.A.  Here at Peaceful Gaia we want you to know where your products are coming from and how much love and dedication has gone into each piece.

To tell the story of Peaceful Gaia is to tell my story.  I'm Alisha Kaiser, owner of Peaceful Gaia Gifts.  From 2008 to 2010 I was fortunate enough to travel across our great country with my husband Doug until the birth of our daughter, Aryanna.  One thing was very apparent across the country in little towns and in cities was the abundance of empty stores with the remnants of their tattered signs out front blowing in the wind and it never failed five minutes down the road you would always run into the big corporate chains with the neon lights right out front.  Keep in mind while I was traveling it was right in the middle of the economic crash.  

I met many different types of people and heard all of their stories.  Stories of loss and of outsourcing and stories of hope and strength.  Another thing became apparent to me.  And that was the resilience of Americans.  Everyone was so kind and full of love and hope of a better day!  I wanted to be a part of the rebuilding!  I tried for years to create some sort of creation that I could sell.  I tried mosaics, sewing, drawing, and many, many more crafts only to finally accept that I lacked the talent to produce something of decent quality.  So, I've fallen back on my education.  With my education in background I am able to open Peaceful Gaia Gifts!  I decided that I would indeed start a business and I would do it in a way that I would be able to help small businesses and artists who value creativity and individuality!

And so Peaceful Gaia Gifts is born!  You our valued customer will always be able to learn about the artists and how to find more of their products.  By doing so we can all help to stimulate growth of small businesses.  Realistically, my story is the story of the hundreds of people that I met while traveling!  I have them to thank for giving me the courage to find a way to do my part!  When you buy from a small businesses you are supporting a child's dance lessons, homeschooling, your friends and families, and the country's communities!  So, I hope you all enjoy our shop where you will find creative, unique products that will be nothing like you find in your neighborhood corporate chain store!
