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

I recently bought a “Migratory Patterns of Fresh Princes” piece of artwork…I’m from Philadelphia, as is the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (who my boyfriend loves). That’s my hometown love.
As for local artwork…I was living in Africa for 16 months and so I bought a lot of artwork/bookends/fabric. I kinda blew my budget!

Over the weekend, I went on a group cycling ride through the neighborhoods and parks of DC and when we were just about famished, the ride leader led us to a little Indian market tucked away in a neighborhood I’d never been to.
