Tellus 360 ~ Lancaster, PA

DSC_0660blog

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.
Join me!

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!

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.
