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.

MOB ME! My husband and I bought a piece of art we call Hobo Heart from a local DC artist. It hangs in our stairway and makes me smile every time I see that red non-anatomical heart with his bundle of stuff on a stick and a harmonica in his hand.

I hope this counts…landed at a local artists’ market(set up in a nightclub…so cool) when I was in Dublin not too long ago and I bought a groovy purse made from resuced/recylcled books. I bought it for my friend who is a HUGE Tolkien nut as this was made with a copy of The Two Towers. The artist rescues books that are damaged and soon to be destroyed and gives them a new life! Bonus: I was her first customer and her first sale!
I shop locally at home, too, and I always try to shop locally when I travel. :)
