Coolest Store Ever!

While roaming the streets of Austin

We came across a store named "Ten Thousand Villages".

Let me tell you about this store.

It contained lots of jewelry, ceramics, scarves,

wall hangings, coffee, etc.

You know, just the kind of store that a man would

LOVE to spend hours in!! Orrrrrrrrr not.

Well, the girls went in and found some beautiful things.

I found a set of bracelets that I simply fell in love with.

More on that later.

The coolest thing about this store is that it only stocks

small village, hand made treasures from places like

Ethiopia, Uganda, India, etc.

The store is a non-profit volunteer run establishment.

All the profits go back to the villages after the overhead is taken out.

I have not ever seen a store like this.

All new products, beautiful, glorious selection and

a help around the world to those who might not

have this type of opportunity to better themselves financially any other way.

And here are the bracelets I came home with:

Yet another super cool thing that we did in Austin!
