Michelle was very sweet!! She let me know they would be closed next Monday to reset the store for Christmas. Love all they have to offer for gifts any time of the year. Wonderful ladies!!

A variety of fair trade items. Very friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for a unique gift for someone, this is the place to shop.

Such a beautiful store. The lady who owns/runs it is such a sweet woman and everyone that works there is so so kind. We got the most beautiful items there.

Each piece is handcrafted by remarkable artisans around the world, uniquely designed, and rich with its own meaningful story. These ornaments aren’t just decorations; they’re gifts that make a …

Take Heart always has lovely and unique handmade items. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. I like to support this fair trade business because proceeds go toward helping women and children in Kenya.
