fun little finds

I am sure by now most of you have heard about the Shop Local push. Putting monies into your local businesses helps your neighbors, but can also provide you with new acquaintances!
When I need supplies for the shop, I have been trying to find them locally, either through a store, or at least a reseller. Gifts? Handmade and local is a bonus!
So when Treehouse Togs needed a new stamp, I searched Etsy for local folks and voila! I was also happily surprised to see her (and her crocheting husband) during the Holiday Market downtown. Quick business was discussed and she began her careful creation of my "thank you" stamp.
I came out fabulous, don't you think?

Besides wonderfully humorous stamps, Kumi Co. also sells crocheted, felted, plant-dyed coasters and simple crocheted bowls (made with local wool!).
A little local love. Pay it forward.
