Green Friday at the Greenheart Shop

Instead of hitting the mall sales today, I popped into the Greenheart Shop, Chicago’s eco-fair trade non-profit shop, carrying both fair trade and eco-friendly products. This store has great gift ideas for everyone in my family – from handmade jewelry and handbags to pottery and chocolate.  

Not in Chicago? You can still shop for its fair trade, eco-friendly items here >>

Today, the Greenheart Shop held a “Green Friday,” an alternative post-Thanksgiving’s “Black Friday,” by helping shoppers make gifts instead of buying them. Their workshops covered making candles, truffles, and jewelry, as well as turning old sweaters into mittens, and more.  

This Tuesday, The Greenheart Shop will host a Chocolate, Wine, and Holiday Benefit Party for Chicago Fair Trade from 5-8 pm. 20% of proceeds from the evening will be donated to Chicago Fair Trade.
