2011 Fair Trade and Sustainability Fair

Fair Trade and Sustainability Fair Flyer
to view, download or print [here]

St. Mattew's presented its Fourth Annual Fair Trade and Sustain­ability Fair Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011. Third World Handcraft Shoppe, Trails to Bridges, and Fair Trade for All returned to the fair, and Go Green from the Tosa Village joined us for the first time. This year’s fair included a seasonal soup and salad lunch made with local ingredients, and winter farmer’s market. Recipes from the lunch are online [here].

The Sustainable Crafters had several items available for purchase (mittens, Christmas tree garland, totes, hooked rugs, jewelry, cards and woven items from our loom). In addition, the work of Marlene Heard, a Wauwatosa artist and member of St. Matthew’s was featured. Marlene donated a number of hooked rugs and hangings for sale at the Sustainability Fair. Marlene’s work is well known around the United States in the area of primitive art. We were very fortunate to make this work available and are grateful for her contribution. The popular bake sale for hunger will also returned.
