How totally cool, right? You may have seen similar towers in miniature before, but you’ve never seen one like this! Sure to be a must-see (especially for those of German descent!), the Christmas pyramid will stand tall beside the Christmas tree in Fredericksburg’s Marktplatz during the holiday season, which officially kicks off on November 27 at 7pm.

Purchase Fair Trade Items from Fifty Third Street Holiday Store

FairTrade

Feel extra good about your holiday purchase when you buy Fair Trade stockings and pillows by Melange Collections at our Fifty Third Street holiday store.

Not familiar with Fair Trade? It’s an organized social movement and market-based approach that supports producers in developing countries. It advocates higher pay to producers as well as social and environmental standards, with a focus on exports from developing countries to developed ones. The movement encourages self-sufficiency and stability among producers and allows them to become greater stakeholders in their organizations.

It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on this eco-friendly photo album with an old school, pop-art feel. When I found out it’s designed by Houston native Kristin Scott, that was it…I knew I had to have it (Gotta support my Texas girls!). I got one for myself, one for my sister and one for my mother. Talk about a great holiday gift! I think I’ll go ahead and paste a pic of all three of us on the first page…
