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

It’s a map! My husband just got his pilots license and I’ve been wanting some big artwork. The map he has ($10) for flying is being changed. So it was recycle it or do something with it. We decided to hang it in our living room after mounting it on some 1/2″ foam core. It’s away to show our home city, with out it screaming Atlanta! I am really happy with it. It’s 60″ long by 20″ high.
