Fair Trade Shopping Trip & Brunch

We had a great time at our annual Fair Trade Shopping Trip to Ten Thousand Villages.  It is one of the world's largest fair trade organizations. We enjoyed browsing for Christmas presents through all the unique handmade gifts made by artisans in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East while helping improve the livelihood of artisans in 38 countries.

But first, of course we stopped for brunch at Lamill Coffee to get energized!
