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

MOB ME! This weekend I was walking past the Massachusetts College of Art and Design with some friends, and we saw a store that sold a bunch of neat projects that the students have made. I bought six different cards created by artist Nancy Goulet. They are all little French sayings – for ex, “Je t’adore” and “Tres chic” – but they all have an illustration for part of the saying – “Je t’a” and then a picture of a door and “Tres” and a picture of a little chick. They are all different colors and I’ve already hung two of them. They are cuter than I am making them sound. Can’t wait to hang the rest of the group!
Alicia says
MOB ME! On Sunday I treated my parents to a delicious diner breakfast at the family-owned diner right near their house. Yum! There’s nothing like a local Jersey diner breakfast to put places like IHOP, Denny’s or any other breakfast place to shame.
