Wooden Bookends - Shajara

Beautiful and practical, wooden bookends are a creative way to add a subtle touch of style to your bookshelf while also keeping your books upright. “Shajara” means “tree” in Arabic. Dimensions: 9” x 8” x 4”  Having finished a degree in Business Administration from Bethlehem University, CCrafts founder, Claudia Stephan, was looking for work that she could do from home with her three children. She wanted to create something for local people, not tourists. Children were her inspiration for making puzzles. She wanted them to put aside the iPad and computers and engage with toys that were interesting and challenging. She also wanted toys that were beautiful and made with safe materials. Now CCrafts produces wood puzzles, olive wood ornaments, candle holders and many other products. It is still a small business in Bethlehem and MECA is pleased to offer her puzzles and other crafts to a whole new audience here in the United States.
