Okay, mobsters – here are this week’s two lucky (and randomly-selected) winners: Charly W (whose most recent local purchase was Vermont maple syrup from the Woodstock Farmers Market) and Megan C. Congrats!
Lovers of local, connoisseurs of craftsman, and followers of all things fun, get ready to do some serious browsing. Scoutmob is a lot of things (flash deals, events calendar, online flea market…) but through it all there’s a charming emphasis on local. This week they’re inviting two of you to spend $200 in their Shoppe, a curated collection of independent artisans and makers who often weave hometown pride into their work. There’s tons of cheery, clever, and skillful stuff to discover, and you can browse by category or even by city. You know, if you wanna see just what your neighbors are making these days.

Hmm…my last home purchase at a little craft/consignment shop in our town was for a cute Christmas decoration all the way back in December.

Haven’t purchased anything local lately (or anything at all, lately!).
However, I am really looking forward to our trip a few hours south at the end of April to see Bill Joel at Jazz Fest in New Orleans and check out the lovely market they have there. We always get some neat art when we visit there.
