The shop has opened
Honesty Stall at Rochelle School, London
Höfer Waren stall 2007, Höfen
Our proposed so called village shop has opened, a while ago, and been up and running at various locations with different product ranges at random prices, and together with Grizedale and public works and somewhere we have become happy and busy traders.
The shop appears under such different names as:
Honesty Box
Internationaler Dorfladen
Honesty Stall
Village Kiosk
Sufelje
Shop activities have shifted to other blogs:
the myvillages.org website
the myvillages/public works blog on the Agrifashionsita.tv website
and the still rudimentaryvillage kiosk blog.

I think it is good that the honesty stall project has no owner but should perhaps mention that it was juneau/projects that kicked this project off (as an art thing) with the stall in Japan. Their project was called 'Like a Wayside Shrine' - and not forgetting that the concept is a common one around the UK.
From Grizedale point of view it has been nice to see it grow and transform organically. Every version of it has a different name and idea of how it should operate, we will never agree on a common policy in fact I think no stall will ever be able to have a policy - the nature of openness is constant change.
The relationships between all the stalls is also evolving, I think everyone is involved in the stall for Arnofini opening at the end of the week - even the juneaus. Grizedale will also be doing a stall as part of the Farmers market in Coniston 13th July - a new development for the Coniston Water Festival. We are just making some new products with local craftspeople - watch this space for Ruskin baseball caps, Ernest Race dog/cat book shelves, and Peter Hodgson 'animal wars' wall paper
