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.

- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two

We bought a really cool print of the Tampa skyline at an art festival last weekend. Still need to frame and hang, but it’s going to look great over our kitchen table when we get around to it! And we also just went for some famous Plant City strawberry shortcake this past weekend to celebrate strawberry season being in full force here in central Florida!

There is this awesome antique shop in our town, and I always manage to find something there I “need!” My husband bought me some beautiful glassware there a few weeks ago. I don’t know if it truly counts as local, because who knows where it came from originally. . .but it was purchased locally!
