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.

MOB ME!
Had an all local weekend actually, from eating at our favorite local restaurants to drinking a few local brews! However, the most fun was hanging out at the local food truck rodeo!

Umm umm ummm…I feel like a fail! I haven’t done any local shopping lately unless you count dinner last night at the diner downtown! They made an amazing philly cheesesteak sandwich though :)

MOB ME!
We went to a place Saturday for breakfast, and took my in-laws. It was delicious and no wait for a table (rare in Portland for a weekend morning). We went to Lauretta Jean’s, which is a pie place, but we had a great breakfast.
Needless to say, we went back later in the day for a piece of pie.
Emmy A says
MOB ME!
There is a bakery in our town that has “Walk-in Wednesday” and we love to indulge in their awesome cupcakes and cookies. Plus we know the owner, so it’s even more sweet (pun intended) to support her business!

Samantha says
MOB ME! I work in a small business in downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia. I never truly understood the shop local campaign until I became apart of it! So now I always eat locally when it comes to restaurants and groceries. Also, I deemed Christmas 2012 the year of Etsy because all my family received unique, custom gifts — Many of the ideas came from your blog!

I live in Grand Rapids, MI. We are very local minded and local proud. The last item I bought locally was a refreshing brew at Brewery Vivant. Grand Rapids was named Beer City USA this past year (2012) sharing the titled with Asheville, NC who had won consecutively in previous years.
Ashley K says
MOB ME My most recent purchase was a cell phone case from a local graphic design company. It’s this old school diver punching a shark in the face. I love it and it makes me laugh everytime I look at my phone!

We get milk and eggs delivered weekly from a local farm and I LOVE it. My favorite local purchase (weekly!) by far.
Kellie says
MOB ME!
We recently joined a co-op and get tons of fruit, veggies, and breads grown/made in Colorado. We get SO much more for our money that we would at the grocery store. I can’t believe it took us so long to join.

Kate says
MOB ME!!
My hubby and I just moved to a small town outside of Columbus, Ohio and happened to stumble into an AH-MAZING chocolate shop! All of the chocolates and the gelato (!!!) are made fresh on site. It’s pretty much the best (and most dangerous) thing ever.
xo Kate
Ingrid says
MOB ME!! A local gym membership!
Jen says
MOB ME!!!!!!!!!! I love this local craft show that Cleveland does every year and recently I bought the most adorable drawings of three of the tallest buildings in downtown – the artist gave them faces and little personalities. One I bought had the three of them all depressed buried under snow (good ol’ Cleveland winters!) and the second one had the three of them cheersing (is that a word?! It is now!) with mugs of beer…no doubt happy the winter was over. Love them!
Marjorie Flanagan says

We have a local bakery that is famous for it’s small town feel and being from the Hanford Area (Manhattan Project) we are proud of our background. This bakery makes what they call a “Atomic Bomb Cake” Neon Green mound cake with dark chocolate icing and some crazy hazard designs on the top…YUM

I recently purchased some amazing locally made soap in an eclectic little shop in the downtown area of the small NC city where I live. It smells divine and I seriously wanted to buy every bar! Amazing how a simple little thing can make you feel happy! :)
