With the holidays quickly approaching, we are sure you have a long list of things to do to prepare yourself, your home, and your family for the big season. In addition to the holidays, the temperatures have been dropping every day, reminding us that it's beginning to be winter coat season. Winter coats mean gloves, hats, scarves, and other accessories to keep you warm. Here at Terressentials, we have a vast array of handcrafted scarves for every occasion, as well as felted hats, silk and wool mittens, and wool ear warmers to keep every bit of you (and your family) warm during these chilly months. Our items are fair trade, so in addition to keeping your body warm, you can warm your heart too by knowing your money is going to a good cause by helping people in other countries make a good living and support their families.
We were busy this fall searching for the perfect artisan-crafted holiday gift items and accessories for you and your loved ones. We have several new jewelry lines, as well as new items from well-liked jewelry we've sold in the past. New this season are an exquisite recycled glass jewelry line from Arizona, funky mismatched (yet very complementary) ceramic earrings from Wisconsin, creative and beautiful mesh metal jewelry from Rhode Island, and delicate, elegant earrings and necklaces from Alexandria, VA. We have recently restocked our collection of shimmery beaded jewelry from Guatemala and stone and silver jewelry from Peru, and we also have more of our unique Ecuadorian jewelry made from seeds and nuts. We are the store to go to if you want to find exciting and fun jewelry!
After we looked for jewelry, we decided that you would probably really like some high-quality, fun and exciting handbags and accessories to go with your fun new jewelry. So we found a great new line of arty felted handbags from India! These bags are quirky and whimsical, and also big enough to hold essentials, but small enough to not weigh you down. We also have cute felted cosmetic bags and little change purses. Come in and check out these bags—they're really something to see! In addition to felted bags, we received a new shipment of beautifully handcrafted leather handbags and accessories from Paraguay. These bags have been a favorite among our shoppers this past year, so we've listened to your comments and ideas for new inventory and we're hoping you'll like what we've decided to bring into the store! Other handbags we have on our floor include silk handbags from Cambodia, artsy handbags made from recycled bags in India, and gorgeous vintage floral handbags made in California.
Bring a friend, bring your significant other (it's easier for them to shop for you if you say, “Wow, I love this! Doesn't this look great on me! I'd really love this for the holidays.” If you drop enough hints, they'll catch on and you'll receive wonderful fair trade gifts for the holidays, just like you wanted!). Stop into our store and see if we can make your holiday shopping easier! In addition to all of the fair trade gift items, we also have certified organic chocolates, teas, granola, and other snack items. Soon we're even going to be selling fantastic certified organic coffee! Stop in to say hi, stop in to look at our inventory, and stop in to find great things for the holidays! We're finding it difficult to even begin to describe all of our fabulous gift items, so you'll just have to drop by and see for yourself all of our wonderful fair trade and organic items!
