World Fair Trade Day is May 8th. Celebrate by treating yourself or someone you love to a fairly traded, gift, jewelry or bag. Birch has an inviting selection to choose from.
And if you are a Twin Cities Metro area reader, here are two fair trade events you should know about.
Ten Thousand Villages on Grand Avenue (at Victoria) in St. Paul is hosting a fair trade fashion show on Saturday, May 8th at 2 PM to celebrate World Fair Trade Day. Fashions will be provided by Mehera Shaw a Minneapolis Fair Trade Fashion boutique. Designer Shari Keller will be on hand to talk about her creations and the process of fair trade production.
And, the temporary Ten Thousand Villages West store (7630 Lyndale Avenue South, Richfield; phone 651.367.4145) is focusing on how to fair trade your home all month with a different highlight each weekend:
May 6-9 learn about fair trade food.
May 13-16 learn about fair trade clothes.
May 20-23 learn about local artisans.
May 27-30 learn more about Ten Thousand Villages.
Please consider shopping for fair trade gifts, jewelry and home accessories while you visit the St. Paul or the Richfield Ten Thousand Villages store. Invest in a fair trade world.
