| - Now this place is an absolute hidden gem! It's on Mill Ave, between a few shops & easily missed. I'm glad we went and explored a bit and stumbled upon this place.
Everything sold here is from an exotic country. The place is family-owned; the owners-a sister and her 2 brothers are the ones that go to these out of the way places to get the items themselves! It was so nice chatting with Paige, one of the owners of this establishment. She had such wonderful stories of each of the different countries she had visited and of each of the pieces that they had at the store. My favorite was of her visit to Nepal & Mt Everest.
I wish I had been able to take some pictures of the beautiful treasures in this place. (phone died, lol.) All items were hand-made and unique of a certain country. They had little satchels made in Africa, wooden sculptures from Thailand, those beautiful Mardi Gras type of masks from Italy, little tokens from Nepal, dresses from Mexico, Japanese artwork, and so many other lovely things from all over the world!
I can't wait to come back and see the new things that they've brought back, and of course hear new and more of the awesome stories and adventures of how and where they got them! If you're ever in Tempe, you need to stop by and check this place out! Next time, I'll take some pictures to share!
