Weekly Special: Select Woolrich Shirts on Sale

weeklyspecial_35

We’ve chosen several long sleeved knit shirts, both for men and women, as our special this week. Woolrich has been producing fine clothing for nearly two centuries (!) and this selection of cotton knits will entice you to get one for yourself and give one as a gift—and still leave money in your wallet. These tees and polos are regularly $25 to $45 each, but we’ll knock off another 30% for this week only. Look for the women’s Kalista tee and the Embroidered First Forks tee; and for men, it’s the Mill Creek Polo and the First Forks tee.

Not available at our 2410 San Antonio Street location in Austin. In-stock items only. No other discounts apply. Offer good through December 6th.

Acholi Beads Embody the Spirit of the Tribe

beads1

Whole Earth is pleased to offer a product that is so important in the lives of the people in Uganda.

More than twenty years ago the Acholi Tribe fled a brutal civil war in northern Uganda and wound up in a slum just outside their capital city. The only opportunity to earn a meager living was to crush rocks with crude tools for $1 per day.Enter the fair trade company, Acholi Beads: their partnership with the Tribe has allowed these craftspeople, mostly women, to earn a professional wage making beads in their homes from recycled paper, then fashioning them into beautiful pieces of jewelry.  This business partnership has been a blessing to all who participate along the way – including those who purchase the jewelry.

Wear these beautiful creations, or gift them to your loved ones, knowing that you’ve enabled the Acholi people to prosper in a fair and generous manner.

Perhaps some of that Acholi spirit will grace the wearers, too.
