For those that haven’t heard, my wife is closing down her store. While we both very much still believe in the mission of the store – bringing stylish fair trade and ethically made products to market at “Target” prices – she decided that she needed to close the store down. This was due to a number of factors, not the least of which was having more time free to spend with our son Ian, of course.

I am so proud of what she did with the store, both in the good it did for so many people, and the awareness it raised about fair trade – but also of how she was able to run the business. Outside of some starting capital, the business very quickly supported itself, which is something most businesses can’t say in good times, much less in this economy.

The good news for all of you is that she has a FABULOUS sale clearing out her remaining inventory. Great time to do a little early christmas shopping if you ask me :-)
