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.

My recent purchase was a steal (not literally) from Target’s dollar spot. May I please just say how much I adore their dollar spot? I got a canvas “grocery bag” thats black and white with an amazing print, which I will be framing and hanging on my gallery wall. I also got a interestingly shaped box that is grey with white stenciling, and there’s a really cool light orange lining inside. My final find was a set of two small water guns which I purchased for my 16 month old nephew.

I purchased six (yes, six) boxes of Girl Scout cookies. That doesn’t sound too outlandish until you hear that I live alone and all six boxes are for me. Don’t judge.
