Shopping Local

I was hunting around on Etsy recently and found some cool stuff from artist that are local in the Chicago Market. Shopping local is one of my goals this year, so I was thrilled to find all these fun designs.
I love the shop local button on Etsy!

  2. Fabulous finds!! I especially love the silver jewelry.

    I shopped at a local quilt shop this week, and hope to hit another one tomorrow where I'll buy a bag for a local/regional NE Quilt Shop Hop which falls conveniently right after tax season (April 18-28).

  3. Wonderful goodies you found! I love the clock especially.

    As local business owners in our city, we always try to support the mom & pop's whenever possible. Our latest find was a little Peruvian restaurant that was tucked away in a shopping center and we never even really knew it was there. Bonus - it was delicious!!

  4. I've been wanting to get a pair of fingerless gloves on Etsy but now that we are approaching spring, I've kinda forgotten about it... those are so cute though! Fun to shop local, I should try it too. ;)
