This weekend, Wendy Reynoso will be surrounded by something she loves. And she’d like to invite you to join her.
Wendy, an avid Nativity collector, is also the buyer for San Pedro’s Global Gifts Unicef Store. And tomorrow, Global Gifts UNICEF hosts their annual Nativity Show!
For Global Gifts Unicef, this is an annual tradition of more than twenty years. On hand will be collectors, exhibiting their Nativities from all over the world. There will also be some Nativities for sale–and not just the standard European ones we remember. Wendy has chosen unique interpretations from artisans in South America, Africa and Russia.
In addition to the Nativities, Global Gifts Unicef will be offering handcrafted ornaments from all over the world. Best of all, everything is fair trade–so buying ornaments or Nativities supports the artists directly.
Wendy talked about her background, her collection and some of the Nativities visitors will see tomorrow.
Global Gifts Unicef is an all-volunteer nonprofit, located in market stall A106 of CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles. Their Nativity Show runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, November 2nd at CRAFTED. CRAFTED is located at Warehouse 10, 112 East 22nd Street, in San Pedro.
