Their beautiful jewelry, pendants, and watches have always made excellent gifts, but even more significant, Ed and Nancy Saunders [and his parents before them], have always provided outstanding repair work, provide excellent related guidance, and best of all care deeply about their customers. The Saunders family approach is based upon integrity and they will do whatever they can to make your visit to their shop meaningful. Not that long ago, I purchased for my wife a pendant, which I had wanted made very personally for her, with her initials on the front of the pendant, and a protective medical note on the reverse side. Not only did Nancy Saunders go step-by-step with me, to absolutely comprehend what I wanted for my wife, but the finished product is something that my wife truly loves, and will NEVER take off.

I saw a flier for Seeds to Sew International advertising a Mata Traders pop up when I was walking…read morearound Hopewell last week. It just so happens that I had heard of Mata Traders and was interested in the fair trade ethics of the company as well as their great dresses and skirts (love me some dresses and skirts with pockets). I stopped into Seeds to Sew International today and am so happy I did! As of April they have a storefront on Seminary Ave (they had been in the back of the store before, which isn't great for foot traffic). I talked to Nina, the Operations Manager, for a bit about the organization and the work they do in Kenya. Seeds to Sew International teaches participants to sew reusable gift bags- so much better than throwing out wrapping paper each holiday- and builds upon those skills so that eventually they are making items like wrap skirts. They also have a beading program and a crafting program, which both use the money earned to pay for girls' education in rural Kenya. I love that I was able to walk away with an item I loved (a skirt with pockets from the Mata Traders pop up) and feel good about where my money went. How often do the products we buy better the world around us? This is a great model that I wish more places would follow. The best part? They'll be having a new pop up each month! Best of luck- I can't wait to see what you do next!
