This store has long been a staple of Fells Pt. They have grown so much. I love the selection of handmade crafts that support womens initiatives around the world. Today I bought some beautiful handmade cards and a unique gift fir an optometrist.

You might think to go in here - Ive passed this place dozens of times and never gone in (sorry), but finally we did the other day, and we were really happy we did. There are so many really neat little things in this shop, and the woman who was working there was very nice. From cute little things to decorate your house, to some clothing items and even to coffees from Africa, you can find a lot of handmade, well-crafted items, especially at this time of year, when you are maybe looking for something unique that you cant get at a Target or Amazon. Quick in and out, and come away with something original and interesting.

This is a must love store because of the beauty of their items and the causes they support. If you want to offer someone a meaningful gift and not just more stuff, this is the place to shop. Definitely something for everyone, artfully arranged in limited space. Its a joy to just visit and see the artisans works, smell the fair trade coffee, hear the chimes, think of children enjoying the toys, and imagine redecorating an area with the vibrant colors and patterns available. Make it a planned stop when youre heading towards Fells Point!

If youre looking for a unique gift this is the place in Baltimore. There is a friendly dog, Ollie, who hangs out and makes the atmosphere relaxed as can be. There is a large variety of gifts and useful items here for reasonable prices.

Parking is intimidating but always ends up being easy to find. The store is great. Customer service is friendly and helpful. The items are so unique and its a great way to shop conscientiously. Amazing teacher or hostess gifts or for any occasion. I love their textiles!

Loved this little gem of a shop. All items and products are handcrafted and have been made in over 50 countries. Good place for unique and interesting items. They also have fair trade coffee beans available for purchase.

This store sells items made in the West Bank by a Palestinian family. When I asked the employee whether it was made by Palestinians, she refused to acknowledge that they were because “not everyone recognizes Palestine” and “she sees both sides.” She continued to explain that she refers to Palestinians as “Arabs” and Jews as “Israelis.” That is not seeing both sides. That is seeing Israel and choosing to erase the existence of Palestinians. It’s not political to simply acknowledge the existence of a people. It’s political to erase them.I’d encourage all who visit to purchase the Palestinian pottery and glass (both absolutely stunning) to support Palestinian business and to have conversations with those who work there to remind them that by simply refusing to acknowledge the truth that people exist and this is THEIR art contributes to oppression through cultural genocide.

High quality, fair trade, handmade goods from across the globe and most importantly its absolutely affordable! Ive purchased beautiful earrings for less than $20, gorgeous winter scarves for $40, and a unique faux leather bound notebook with engravings for $30. I love supporting female artists across the globe and my wallet is happy, too.
