Tellus 360 ~ Lancaster, PA

Can't say enough great things about Tellus 360!
This is one of those shops that isn't a just a store, but an experience!

Well-named. "Tellus" means "Earth" in Latin.
A fresh, eco-friendly philosophy with fair trade, sustainable items.
Reclaimed wood furniture with an irresistible, rustic richness.

Not only green in the environmental sense, but also literally;
the building is topped with a 9,600 square foot vegetated green roof!

The browse itself is a delight in Tellus 360's peaceful, zen-like ambiance.

Blankets created with yak yarn from Nepal. Yes, yaks.
Such lush colors! I dare you not to feel the softness!

WeWOOD plants a tree for every purchase of one if its 100% natural wood watches.

Anyone remember Charles Chips? What a creative piece of nostalgia!

Terrific bags! My favorite is the market tote at far right. Made from a coffee bean sack.

It was hard not to take home this rough, hand-carved wood bowl. Imagine what you could keep in it!

Tellus 360's Balance Boards - very cool.

Made from 3 types of reclaimed wood. Bamboo, multi wood & mushroom wood.

Mmmmm. Luscious hand-knits.

Oh, this fantastic table!

Made from one enormous piece of bubinga wood.
The raw bark edge is tactile, woodsy perfection.

At the rear of the store, they have their own art gallery, called Gallery360.

When I visited, the art featured was "By Nature",

Sarah Butzer's captivating collection of black & white photography. 

There was so much more:

Tellus 360 wooden electric guitars, handmade from recycled materials!
Comfy clothing.

Recycled glassware.

Antiques imported from Ireland.

Linens. Jewelry. Cards. Soaps. Candles. Books.

Bamboo bowls & utensils.

And on and on...

Beyond all this -

they do custom work,

commercial furniture and fixtures,

and solar hot water systems.

Wow!

Here's their website and their Facebook page.

I encourage you to visit this remarkable shop at 24 East King St. in downtown  Lancaster!

You'll not be disappointed.
