Consider buying from vendors who support fair trade.
Fair Trade means an equitable and fair partnership between marketers in North America and producers in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other parts of the world. A fair trade partnership works to provide low-income artisans and farmers with a living wage for their work.
These are some of the things that caught my eye at the Global Exchange Fair Trade Store.

My sister and I visit a Fair Trade store in University City (MO) whenever we get together. Love the stuff here. I bookmarked the spot!
These are beautiful items - thanks for sharing.
