It all happens Saturday, November 7.

This year, the Bag Sale is bigger and better than ever.  At 25% off everything, in stores stocked full of newly arrived, unique and meaningful gifts, it truly is our best sale of the year.

This is an annual sale our staff and loyal customers love and look forward to, and this year our goal is to expand that excitement exponentially.

• This webpage (http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/the-bag-sale) includes buttons to share on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and makes posting this event to your social media profiles a snap.

The Bag Sale is also a chance to explain how we are different from other retailers.  Because we are fair traders, the artisans who make our products have already been paid IN FULL for every beautiful item on our shelves.  Fair prices and incomes they can count on help families send their children to school, improve their homes, invest in their workshops and build dreams for their futures.

This once-a-year sale gives customers a head start on their holiday shopping, introducing them to unique items that will make meaningful gifts for their loved ones.

You – and all those you reach with your invitation – can make this the biggest, best Bag Sale ever.  I can just imagine how exciting it will be to share our success with our artisan partners around the world, who have crafted these beautiful gifts with love and pride.

Thank you for your enthusiasm for this effort and for your support of our mission.
