Home Shop to Benefit Women's Safety at Home and Abroad

Here's another good suggestion for a unique, meaningful gift (or personal acquisition) to add to the holiday pile in addition those included in the Mercury auction benefiting the Portland Women's Crisis Line: Kush, the southeast carpet store featuring hand knotted oriental rugs, is donating 50% of each sale of South Asian Patchwork Textiles to the Progressive Women's Association in Pakistan (before you hit that link beware that there are some frank images of survivors of attempted "honor killings" right on the top of the home page)–quite similar to the PWCL, actually, except on the other side of the world. The pieces are $150 each, and outside of the motive of contributing to a good cause, they're really intricately beautiful, and make excellent wall hangings:
