History

Established in 2012.

We opened our store with the idea that Elmwood Village would welcome a Ten Thousand Villages alliance store that offers fair trade items that are beautifully made and with a great variety of products to choose from. We also wanted to offer local artists works from soy candles and lotions, to handmade fashion boots and jewelry to name a few. The opportunity to help sustain the environment through the types of products we sell was a objective of ours as well, using many recyled materials from paper, glass, metals, material and silks. We appreciate being a small business where we can offer products that make an impact on those less fortunate than us, and are environmentally conscious and friendly, and also beautiful to use and look at.
