Domenico Winery Ladies Night Fair Trade Event Huge Success

On December 3rd we participated in the Domenico Winery's Ladies Night Shopping event. Stacey, founder of Shopping for a Change, was there along with her husband and son, Ken and Avi, and volunteer helpers Sandy Shepler and Martha Chen. We were swamped for the three hours of the event, and sold over $2300. Showed mostly jewelry, with a smidgen of home decor and babies items.  The hand knitted organic cotton animal sweaters sold very well during these past two live sales events, and the Pebble toys/rattles are gaining popularity.

accessories1 Shopping for a Change offers unique holiday gifts for a good cause.  Our fair trade jewelry makes a one-of-a-kind stocking stuffer along with our gorgeous apparel, accessories, kitchenware and decorative living items for under the tree.  During the holiday season, Shopping for a Change offers gift certificates from $25-$250--a perfect way to shop fair trade style!  Shop today and purchase $100 or more to receive a free bar of our luxurious, organic Ayiti Native Soup--a customer favorite. 

Happy Holidays to you and yours from Shopping for a Change!
