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
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States.

In my attempt to be greener, I always buy from small local shops in my town. I recently went shopping downtown at a small clothing shop owned by a mother and daughter team, rather than the global chains I usually frequent. I buy from my local yarn shop, and most importantly, I buy meat and produce from local farms!

I bought a refurbished & painted dresser from a local furniture guy. Crafty people would have done it themselves, but I fear messing things up. But, I love the end result and so it was $$$ well spent. I’m all about supporting those that do it better!
