More ways to furnish your home… or tipi

Your home is a place where you live and play.  It is where you relax.  As such, your home often reflects who you are.  Cat, one of our local shoppers, came into the store recently to buy furnishings for her tipi.  That’s right, tipi.  Some people relax in their backyard, some on front porches… but not Cat!  She and her family spend their downtime in an authentic tipi, now complete with furnishings from Ten Thousand Villages of Austin.

Cat chose our bamboo chairs and stool that we often have out in front of the store, so you can try them for yourself.  Check out the photos!

New pressed bamboo items in the store

Ten Thousand Villages of Austin has new items!  Artisans working with Viet House in Tay Ninh Province, Vietnam, craft this folding table from metal and pressed bamboo.  Pressed bamboo is a new technique the group has developed in recent years in response to a demand for a more modern look.  After it has been treated, pressed and sanded, bamboo can be used just like any other wood in furniture making.

Summer may be coming to an end, but you can enjoy this tropical look year-round!  Come on in and check out the set today! …Taylor
