Just this morning, I learned about a great online fair trade resource called
Trade As One. It's always fun to purchase beautiful products for myself or as a gift for someone, but it's even more rewarding to know that the proceeds are going to help less fortunate people in other countries earn a fair wage.
They have products in many categories, including jewelry, stationery, bags, sports & toys, apparel, etc. But here are a few of my favorite items from the house & home category.
Bloom Box, $6.00, made in Rajasthan, India
Boxes Tufted Rug, $99.00, from Nairobi, Kenya 
Olive Wood Coasters, $24.00/set of 6 coasters, from West Bank
Recycled Magazine Bowl, $19.00, from Vietnam
Red Bamboo Footed Bowl, $29.50
Telephone Wire Bowl, $54.00
Woven Basket with Leather Wrapped Handles, $39.00There's tons more to see! Just
click here to see all of their great products. Have fun shopping, and feel great that you're helping others at the same time!
