The name “Dropenling” is a Tibetan word meaning “giving back for the betterment of all mankind”.

Dropenling is a social enterprise designed to provide sustainable, long-term solutions to the promotion and preservation of Tibetan culture. All profits from Dropenling are returned to the artisan community in order to improve their working conditions and livelihood.

Dropenling combines on-site artisan producer groups, handicraft sales, and traditional cultural performances. Dropenling is open from 10am-8pm everyday.

Please stop by, help support the Tibetan artisan community, get a taste of the real Tibet!

Stella’s new ‘do

Hi, Debby,
 
I thought you might like to see the before and after haircut photos – boy, does she look grown up! She has such a sweet little face and strong little body.
 
Also wanted to report that we *may* be making progress in the poop-eating situation.  We are watching like hawks and making sure we clean up immediately, but she just walks away from it now.  I *did* change the vegetables I was using in the food I make – I’ve been putting in peas and carrots, and read on your blog that green beans may be a deterrent – could be.  Overall she is being pretty darned good!

This was taken the day before her haircut – June 30, 09…

Taken the day of the haircut – July 1.  Doesn’t she look proud?
