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.

We hit up the local street fair from time to time, get a little dinner, some cakes for the next morning and some strawberries from a farm just an hour away in Oxnard. And Girl Scout cookies? My daughter sold 500 boxes. She’s six. She would not. stop. selling. *bragplaint*

I just totally impulse bought a new pair of Kate Spade glasses for myself. Usually I research the hell out of purchases to get the best deal, but I lost my mind and just bought these frames without giving the price a second thought. That’s what flex spending accounts are for, right? ;)
