I only get to come here about once a year when I happen to be in Champaign visiting my daughters who over the years have gone to school or lived in the CU area. \n\nIt is a cute little store with very unique items. With the infrequency of my visits, the stock changes quite a bit. Over the years I have collected good looking table items and found exotic gifts for people. Yesterday I bought two stupendous greeting cards just because I liked them.\n\nAll of this would be enough but the business model is fair trade items to benefit areas and peoples of the world which traditionally are not paid a fair wage for their labor. As a result the prices are fairly high. I like the idea of paying people a wage they deserve and getting quality, hand crafted merchandise that are more one of a kind.\n\nCool stuff and helping the world be a cooler place, two thumbs up!
