IV Vol 5 - July 2006 Sourcing Bali News

We are once again proud to bring you the latest news from Sourcing Bali and our supplier partners.

We extend our deepest sympathies to our friends in Jogyakarta and the regions of central Java who's lives have been devasted by the recent earthquakes. Many of our suppliers have factories in these areas and have been severely effected. We hope that you can assist with much needed donations.

In this edition of Sourcing Bali news you'll read about the latest products to feature on our website, unfortunately a great deal of the products that we source are not featured, as there is simply not enough hours in the day and, more and more of our work is dealing with custom made orders - none of which are ever featured on the site.

We take this opportunity to say a big welcome to our new clients, Simon and Sonya, Shane, Steven, Gerald and Sally, Michael, Katherine - as well as a welcome back to Tess, Josephine, Rick, Edmond and Tarcisio, and Sallie.  Its been a busy month for Sourcing Bali !

As always, we thank you for your ongoing support - we welcome your feedback to our newsletters and look forward to being of service to you very soon.

Warmest regards
Desmond & Crew
