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.

I live in Miami, and the Cuban exile culture produces a lot of “only in Miami” stuff. The tropical climate also means that a lot of the fruit we eat regularly…like Mamey, Papaya, Mango, Zapote, Guava and Guanabana are grown right here in South Florida. I also recently used Cuban tile in my kitchen reno (referred to as “cement tile” by the rest of the country), which was made in a small warehouse in the middle of a derelict neighborhood right here in the 305…
