The End of an Era .............. and A New Beginning

 

We are leaving our Armadale store in Melbourne after many years.

The website is temporarily on hold, and will be back in action in the New Year.

 

Many new products will be available, as well as many favourites.

 

Please look out for them.

 

Our contact details will also change, and will appear on the refreshed site.

 

A heartfelt 'Thank you' to our many loyal customers, who have supported us so well.

 

Don't despair - 'We'll be back!'

FAIR TRADE FORTNIGHT ENDS ON MAY 19

Still a fews days to go until the end of Fair Trade Fortnight.

It's a reminder to everyone to buy Fair Trade products.

Not just food or hand-crafts, but clothing, decor and more.

And not just this fortnight, but every day.

Next time you shop -

• Ask where the products are made
• Ask who gets the momey.
• Ask how much they are paid.

It may be no big deal in the shop, but it's a very big deal in parts of the world, where people do not have a voice.

 

Before You Throw It Away - Part lll

We have a selection of Hand-made Necklaces now in stock, made from recycled paper.

The beads are rolled from strips of magazine and newspaper pages, and are probably the best thing ever to have come out of these publications.

To have a look, pop into the Store.

Before You Throw It Away .......

We stock these lovely Bracelets, made in West Africa, from Recycled Plastic Packaging.

We also carry a range of Jewellery and Basketware, some made from Electrical Wire, some from Waste Paper and some from Recycled Plastic.

Africans are infinitely resourceful and inventive, and re-use materials over and over, to great effect.

Next time you stare into your waste bin, just think how much you need not throw away!

Have a look for yourself:
