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.

SOS from Texas

The Oldham family has been growing cotton in Texas for more than 100 years. Our grandfather broke out prairie grass to plant cotton in the rich soil. We maintain this fertility with organic farming practices which include crop rotations and enhancing the habitat for beneficial insects. Nothing synthetic is added and nothing is taken out except cotton. From this cotton, we make organic tee shirts. SOS FROM TEXAS is pleased to offer our customers the fruit of our land in our organic cotton garments.

Consignmor News

It is wonderful and crazy!!
We have seen a magnificent increase in the number of parents who are interested in recycling their children's clothing.  On every consignment day in September there were more consignments than we usually see in two or three days!!
 We are reminding you --and asking you to remind your friends-- that it is best if you call within the hour that you want to bring consignments to ask if we are able to take them.  Thank you. :)  We do answer the telephone staring at 9 AM in the mornings.

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

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.

If there is radiance

    in the soul

    it will abound in the family.

If there is radiance

    in the family

    it will abound in the community.

If there is radiance

    in the community

    it will grow in the nation.

If there is radiance

    in the nation

    the universe will flourish.
