Support Local Businesses

GLASSY - Delivery: My order from Milkweed Arts arrived with this tucked inside. Made me smile.

I source my glass supplies from many different resources. ALL are small businesses, and many are also local. Milkweed Arts is not local to me, but it is a wonderful resource for classes and unique glass supplies. Warren, the owner, is knowledgeable and takes care of his customers. I have flown out there for a few classes, and it's always a great experience.

Small business shopping is such a treat and great for the community. Small businesses typically offer unique items not found in the big box stores. By shopping with small businesses, you are actually fostering unique product offerings. In addition, they provide personalized service, create a stronger sense of community, and boost the local economy. Also attributed to small businesses is the vital local job creation, innovation, and environmental sustainability.

Sooooo .. the next time you are off to that big box store, take a look around ... what local business can you visit instead?
