Shop Local! Bike to a boutique.


I can't express how important I think shopping local and supporting all things local is. The city I live in makes it very easy to get grass-to-glass milk, local eggs, meat, etc. I know it isn't as easy in other towns and it's easy to take it for granted. I love selling online but I think it's equally, if not more important to push the little businesses that are still supporting local, handmade items. To the right is Heather of the Clothing Line. I love that the places I sell things are the same places I love to shop. I'll be giving away a free pair of button earrings for every comment left with a local boutique you love that you'd like to see Nicole's Threads carried in.

I agree! I'm a big fan of shopping local and supporting home grown and organic farmers. It's always best to buy close to home :-)

Happy Monday!
