I was an artisan who could not make his own choices. If a choice was imposed on me, I did not even have the skills to handle it. All this changed with World-Shoppe. Thanks!

I like that recycling basket a lot. I've been looking for one that is neutral, instead of the ones in the loud primary colors.

Where is World-Shoppe located and how do their prices compare to a World Market or Pier 1, for example? Thanks!
