Sounds like an Oxfam shop. Great!

I was walking past here one day and popped in out of curiosity. They have decent free trade coffee, african chocolate, a variety of soaps and plenty of home decor items (trays, bowls, baskets, etc.).... I bought a few peices of their homemade african paper, which would be great for wrapping presents, but I used it as the backdrop inside some picture frames I had.
Most everything is of great value. Highly recommend it.
