Community Patrnership Shopping Days
During our Community Partnership shopping days we will give back 10% of sales to a local nonprofit working in our community.
Shop Fair Trade.
A beautifully hand crafted, fairly traded gift provides a sustainable income to the one who made it.
On the days below, its sale supports a Syracuse-area non-profit and so gives back to our community.
And, of course, it will delight whoever receives it!
October 31-Nov1:” Our Holiday Preview Sale”:
Mention Vera House and we will donate 10% of the sale back to Vera House!
---Because the majority of our products are made by marginalized women
Vera House: “works to assist families in crisis, to support those affected by domestic and sexual violence to live safe, self-sufficient lives, to empower women and children, and to promote a culture of equality and respect in all relationships. “
November 7-8th

Guatemala expedition
I am back in Guatemala visiting the women of Chumanzana and catching up on their lives. This group are back-strap weavers and are really feeling the pressure of the world-wide economic recession at this time. We are here working with them to create new products for the fall season and plan for the future.
