Clinton- “A gift from a friend is more than an object being gifted: the thought behind it is an expression of love, because it is a genuine wish for you to be happy.” (Quote from
Richard Bach). We are proud to offer you our exquisitely crafted pine needle baskets from
Guatemala. Handmade from sustainably sourced longleaf pine needles and pajon, a
native wildgrass found in the Guatemalan Highlands, these heirloom quality baskets
will enhance your home with their natural beauty and subtle fragrances. Basket
makers masterfully combine color, form, and fine stitchery to create baskets that are
perfect for display and are entirely functional.
Our adorable Pink Bunny Box from India is made from recycled paper pulp and is
waiting to be displayed or filled with small treasures. Each of our Quilled Floral Eggs from Vietnam is completely covered by hand with dozens of individually coiled paper strips, forming a vibrant floral egg pattern inspired by blooming spring daisies.
These and MANY, MANY MORE uniquely handcrafted gift items from 38 different
countries can be found at our FAIR TRADE SHOP, STONE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH, 8 SO. PARK ROW, CLINTON. Our regular hours are 10am to 4pm every
Thursday, SECOND SATURDAYS and by appointment by calling 315-853-1070.
