SO happy we stumbled into this cute little shop. They have something for everyone! Tom was helpful and kind - he even wrapped our fragile items well enough to travel on the plane (thank you again!) If you are in town, check them out -- you won't be disappointed!

We have enjoyed this shop & the owners for a number of years and were happy to hear that they didn't go out of business. We have purchased many items for our Florida home and also many gifts for others. We will be visiting very soon to see what new fair trade items they have. Tom & Connie Youngblood

A fantastic place to wander into during your visit to Cocoa. The owner was welcoming and kind and created a fantastic aura in the store. I inquired about several items and he was able to explain who made them as well as their cultural significance; most of the pieces for sale have a little bit of soul to them.
