​

A celebration of the handmade and the unique, the practical and the beautiful, our Peace Sale takes tradition and gives it a few modern touches. Buy handmade treasures; bid on a quilt during the live auction; browse Ten Thousand Villages; drink Fair Trade coffee; feast on freshly prepared food, take home a shoo-fly pie - and know that you're supporting peace and justice efforts at home and abroad.

​

Ten Thousand Villages Pop-Up

​

Black Sea Bazaar - Turkish Pottery & Ceramics

Artist Esra Erkan has sent some of her acclaimed ceramic works from her studio, Simurg Tile Workshop, in Iznik, Turkey. Iznik (formerly Nicaea) has produced pottery since the Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman Empires. Iznik ware is distinctive because of its variety of complex designs and rich, vibrant colors.

​

Live Auction

Live auction of unique, hand-crafted quilts and comforters, along with woodworking and other items.

First-time bidders will need to register before the auction begins, so please plan to arrive a little before the auction start time of 1:30pm.

​

Coffee, Food, & Snacks

Coffee and tea from Houston Mennonite's very own Fair Trade store. Fresh-baked cookies. Tamales (including some for vegetarians). And a new favorite - desserts! Buy pie by the slice and eat it right there on the spot.

​

My Coins Count

Bring your spare change and help us show how a combined effort can turn a little into a lot!

​

Alternative Market

Want to support the cause but don't need more things to find a place for at home? Buy something from the Alternative Market and your money will go straight to peace-making projects.
