This place was cute. Everything is handmade and most items have some kind of story about where they came from. Currently, they have a display of gorgeous nativity sets from all around the world. I'm not a Christmas person, but I did find myself swooning over them a bit. All kinds of scarves, mittens, hats, jewelry, wall-hangings. I loved the knit things. I wished that there were more in neutral or earthy colors as I would like them to be able to match my red coat.
I ended up buying a pair of fleece-lined alpaca mittens from Bolivia in a sage green color (the most neutral they had). They have already changed my outlook on life this winter. I have never owned such warm, soft mittens.
Other things which I was smitten with was an assortment of table cloths and blankets from India and Mexico. I will never be able to afford one but they were so beautiful.
I would love to see more intricate jewelry--metal, glass, stone. They have a lot of glass beads and macrame. Which are great, but not what I'm looking to buy. I would love to see some fairly purchased native american jewelry. I would also love to see some pottery as I am always looking for beautiful pottery for gifts.
Great place to Christmas shop or find a sweet, fairly priced indulgence for yourself. read more
