Go Earth A World Of Gifts opened in July
2007 as a Fair Trade shop marketing hand
crafted products from artisans in many
developing countries. As of mid-April 2011
we have decided to bring the artisan’s
products to the people at special
events, fundraisers and group
presentations. You can see from the photos
on this web page that the products are
uniquely beautiful and make fantastic gifts
or striking additions to your home/office
décor.
Fair Trade is about helping artisans in
developing countries market their exquisite
creations and paying them a fair, living
income. They are paid directly upon
completion of their work, eliminating a
large network of middlemen. Go Earth is the
connection between our communities and these
talented individuals.
Contact Go Earth for sales of Fair Trade
items at your business, school, club,
church, etc. We can offer awesome one-of-a
kind jewelry, purses, baskets, wall art,
statues, cards and more! By choosing hand
crafted Fair Trade products, you know your
purchase has made a difference.
Thank you for your interest in Fair Trade.

 A quick look at:
Onyx
from Pakistan – artists choose
the highest quality onyx stone with beautiful
colors and grains. Huge blocks are cut into
smaller chunks using a lathe-like machine with a
circular blade. Then the artisans carve the
stone into smooth bowls, vases, candles. Each
one has different colors throughout the stone,
ranging from translucent whites to browns or
greens…. Gorgeous!
Recycled
soda cans from Kenya - the
cans and coiled wire are cut into shapes and
formed by disabled artisans into ornaments,
pins, earrings, and small angels. Cans from
cola, orange, rootbeer or white soda with the
addition of beads never looked so
good…Eye-catching!
 Oil
drums from Haiti - Handcrafted
art is made by cutting, shaping, piercing, hand
hammering recycled oil drums. Pieces either have
a clear protective coating to prevent rust or
are hand painted (such as the geckos). Wall
hangings are gorgeous indoors or out!
The natural
artistic talents of the Haitians are well known,
and you will find their work …..Amazing!
South Africa –
bowls from telephone wire…..Ecuador – jewelry
made from a large nut…… Philippines – purses
from juice bags…..and much more!!
