Abstract:

The Federation of Woman’s Exchanges was established in 1934 to promote the art of handicrafts and to provide a marketplace for women. The exchanges were formed based on a self-help ideology and women’s volunteerism, and continue to operate today. Saints Creations in New Bern is a member of the Exchange, and offers opportunity to exchange local handmade items.
