While this is the last of my 30 day series, I hope you will consider adding some shop small alternatives to your everyday shopping routines. Two great things about shopping locally: comfort and discovery. The comfort of knowing you are contributing your community and the discovery of finding new businesses with unique items that the big box stores do not carry. Purchases, even the small ones, have power. Buying local injects desperately needed money into the economy.
And if you can't shop local this season at least you can shop small and handmade onlne. Below I have a recap of the artisans I have featured during the last 30 days for easy access. Shop small all year!
