With only a week of Christmas shopping left, there's still time to find a perfect environmentally-friendly gift! Camphill Village Kimberton Hills' craft shop features hand made woven and felted items made from recycled fabrics, wood products, pottery, silk scarves with natural plant-derived dyes, and more. One of their signature items is a rug made from recycled denim, perfect for any abode - durable, beautiful and environmentally friendly. Plus, all items are made locally at this agricultural and handcrafting community by adults with developmental disabilities. Located in Chester County, they encourage individuals (especially adults with special needs) to discover and develop their potential in a physically, socially and spiritually therapeutic environment.
