Fair-ly Trading at the Philadelphia Gift Show

We are pleased to report that we had a great experience at the Philadelphia Gift Show. We met lots of people, wrote a few orders, made new friends, and really learned A LOT. Best of all, everyone responded so well to our work. Jean, Caryn, and Bernie (the US “team”) wore our aprons and were talked about wherever they went. Our shawls continue to amaze people, as did the equally-amazing work from our backstrap looms -- our “celebration placemats” and headbands in particular. We talked with other Fair Trade vendors as passionate as we are about handmade and being able to earn a living from your work. The team returned to New Jersey energized for the next trade show!
