Every visitor to Ten Thousand Villages will discover a special treasure to delight their creative spirit and speak to their heart. Unlike other stores, Ten Thousand Villages is a fair trade store. 

What that means is that every purchase you make has a positive impact on the world.  The artisans’ works that line the shelves of Ten Thousand Villages come from every corner of the globe. 

The women who produce the beautiful gifts, home décor, jewelry, art, sculpture and textiles not only improve their quality of life, but celebrate their culture. Each hand crafted piece reflects something unique and wonderful about their heritage and the countries they live in.

Many shoppers are transformed back to a favorite market they explored while visiting one of the artisan’s country. Others are inspired to learn more about the cultures represented and delight in experiencing a bit of some faraway place in the comfort of Green Hills.

Most everyone who makes a purchase leaves feeling she has enriched another woman's life - made a difference - helped her to help herself, her children, and her community.

While in the store, you'll hear these kind of comments:

"Love the peaceful atmosphere - a pleasant break from the frenzied mall - will be back!"

                "I loved my visit! It is so pretty in here and the people are great!!"

                "Our holidays begin when we visit the nativity and ornament shop at Ten Thousand Villages."

As Ten Thousand Villages nears its 10th anniversary in Nashville, it is important to note that without their dedicated volunteers and loyal customers, they simply wouldn’t exist.   Because they are a fair trade store, every purchase makes a difference in the life of an artisan, and impacts her community greatly.  StyleBlueprint proudly applauds this amazing store. 

Ten Thousand Villages wishes to thank Rachel Paul Photography for her generous donation of the photographs for today's deal.
