It’s Dog Week at Ten Thousand Villages
April 6th, 2009 . by blogadminThis is Dog Week AND Holy Week and as one wise woman said to me over dinner last week: “Well, they’re the same thing!” Amen.
Come on out and help support our local non-profits working to support precious under-served dogs! A different organization benefits every night! (see flyer for details) In addition to all our wonderful sustainable good for dogs (& their people) there’s lots of cool, fun, funky, fair-trade goods from the 60 year old fair-trade “trendsetter” Ten Thousand Villages. That’s right- they were doin’ fair-trade and sustainable crafting WAY before it was cool, just because they’d figured out it was the right thing to do!
We love doing Dog Week- it’s a fun way to get Ten Thousand Villages’ regular customers some great dog stuff, and get some great dog people into Ten Thousand Villages and introduced to fair-trade, locally made, truly safe, non-toxic, fun and sustainable goods for their dogs! 10% of all sales are donated to a different non-profit every night!

Banjo and Clementine are my new favorite dogs! How fun its been to work with such fun and well mannered friends. Fair trade is good for dogs too!
