Our Family of Shops...


1 World Trading Co.
Where you will find fair-trade, locally-made and "green" products in a beautiful and friendly Downtown Nashua shop.


 路 Fair-trade is commerce that seeks to create positive change, often in developing countries. It empowers poorer communities to improve their living standards in a way that is healthy and sustainable.


 路 The purchase of locally-made products keeps dollars within a local community while reducing environmental impact. This is true because the items have not been shipped to a distribution center and then re-shipped to individual stores.

 路 Environmentally-responsible products are more and more in demand as consumers seek to live a "greener" life. Come visit us for simple steps to green living.

Oak
 is a boutique in Boston for all things handmade. Buying handmade helps to build community, and establish new artisans.

Buying Handmade makes for better gift-giving.
The giver of a handmade gift has avoided the parking lots and long lines of the big chain stores in favor of something more meaningful. If the giver has purchased the gift, s/he feels the satisfaction of supporting an artist or crafter directly. The recipient of the handmade gift receives something that is one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can
be seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing.

Ugly Dolls, Inc
Ugly

From the creative minds of two love struck artists David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim emerge the Uglydoll family! What started as a drawing of a playful orange character known as Wage has turned into a whole new world of fun! In 2001, when David's soon to be wife and creative partner Sun-Min had to return to Korea, he sent her many "I miss you" letters with his little Wage character drawn at the bottom.

Sun-Min sewed Wage into a push doll and sent him to David as a surprise gift. David asked Sun-Min to sew a couple more for the Giant Robot store in Los Angeles and they sold out in one day! A very excited Sun-Min sewed many more and those sold just as fast! Sun-Min and David then began to pull more characters from the Uglyverse, a universe where UGLY meant unique and special, to translate into plush Uglydolls. They both met again at their very first Uglydoll Toy Fair booth (a small 6x6 booth made of felt and wood) in New York, where they would go on to win Toy Of The Year 4 years later!

Consignmor News

It is wonderful!!
We have seen a magnificent increase in the number of parents who are interested in recycling their children's clothing.  On some consignment days there are more consignments than we
can possibly process in a timely manner.
 We are reminding you --and asking you to remind your friends-- that it is best if you call on the day that you want to bring consignments to ask if we are able to take them.  Thank you. :)

603 886 6727 -ask for a business card during your next visit.

2 more reminders:

   1. please do not park in the truck-turn-around, and please use the back entrance for loading and un-loading only.  Please pull around front to park after unloading consignments.
   2. please sort and count your items at home, as our consignment area is small and gets congested.  Additionally, we find that many people are thinking that we will TAKE 30 items and so they will bring more than 30 thinking that we will keep looking until we find 30 items that we think will sell..  The rule is that we look though not more than 30 items.  Please do not bring more than 30 items with you as we will not look at more than the first 30. Thank you.  

Thank you so much for your understanding  and cooperation, and thank you for taking the time to read all of the above. 
We really appreciate it.
