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.

MOB ME! last week at a local thrift shop I scored: for $10 I got a pretty little silver bowl (tarnished and ugly in the store, but 5 minutes and some polish and it’s glowing), a Frank Lloyd Wright poster, and enough grey-and-deep-blue upholstery fabric to do a chair we’ve been procrastinating on…

As NYC residents, we get a lot of things local. All of my jewelry is hand made from an inexpensive and creative shop that I love, we get our produce from farmers markets, wallets/bags/belts are purchased from a local leather shop, we drink local beers, and probably a lot more stuff that I’m forgetting!

“MOB ME” I ate at a local seafood palce called Bear Flag Fish Co. OMG I’ve never had such good food before!
