Have you ever been wandering around South Congress on First Thursday and felt like you needed an extra boost of energy? Stop into Ten Thousand Villages of Austin, where we've got fresh, fairly traded coffee brewing all evening until 10pm! After all, you may have been on your feet for awhile... walking up and down the street, perhaps watching the bats come out, or maybe you waited in line for an hour for the delicious sweets at Hey Cupcake. We don't blame you, it's worth it.
At Ten Thousand Villages, we love being part of the vibrant South Congress district. We're a fair trade, nonprofit store that sells beautiful, handmade items from over 30 countries in the developing world. Some of our customer favorites are products made from recycled newspaper in the Philippines. The Women's Multipurpose Co-op makes coasters, placemats, hot mats, and more!
While you're in, you'll probably want to check out a brand new item -- shea butter soap made in Ghana. Made with all natural ingredients, these soaps are very lightly scented with oatmeal and rosemary. Each bar of soap is stamped with an "adrinka" double heart, which symbolizes the bounty of nature, and its importance in sustaining life.
Your purchase at Ten Thousand Villages of Austin will help create sustainability and hope in communities across the developing world. Come be a part of our fair trade family!
