On one of our walks downtown this week we stopped in the new shop inside Valparaiso’s International Center- The Welcome Mat on Lincolnway near Round the Clock. They sell an impressive selection of fair trade home goods from all around the world, at very reasonable prices.

Such a great option for gift giving- especially for the kids. I’d much rather give (and receive!) a gift from there knowing it’s helping others around the world. Stop in when you can, and check it out during the Popcorn Fest September 10 for special deals and events.

Find The Welcome Mat on Facebook.
