      Husband and I have made a commitment to buy from small and/or independent places this Christmas as much as possible.

      So: Do you make and sell stuff on an online shop? Do you have a family member or a friend who does? Do you have a cool shop you love to buy from?

      Drop your links here. I'm not asking for specific styles or things because I don't want to limit the options promoted. Maybe someone else will find something they love.

      Thanks!

        What a nice idea.

        Stores from friends (who happen to be former MUSHers):

              I have worked forward facing and/or high public comtact jobs the entire pandemic so have run the gamut of masks. This person is local to me and makes the only ones that don't fog my glasses and do not make me break out because no fabric touches my mouth or chin at any time. She also has really fun patterns. I wear these for 8 hours a day including nature walks and running around on the playground playing with ece students with no issue.

                Hi!

                One of my oldest friends just had a baby and is selling some of her amazing artwork.

                Please consider purchasing things for your winter gift-giving holiday.

                She's amazing and wonderful and I would buy it all myself if I could (my house is teeming with her creations, I am one of the blessed that receive her work and her letters several times a year).

                  Here's one for my friend who is an art teacher and a single mom and just had an art show where she sold a ton of stuff and will be listing even more on etsy soon:

                  Another for a friend who does AWESOME stuff with chainmail:

                  https://www.etsy.com/shop/Chainbow

                  Who knew oyster shell ornaments and lit bottles would be a hit gift?

                  https://www.etsy.com/shop/OShucksOysterShells

                  And I'm a Disney fanatic so I love all their signs and magnets I have so many:

                  https://www.etsy.com/shop/SimplySawdustStudio

                  I'm a sucker for travel posters:

                  https://www.etsy.com/shop/HarknettPrints

                  You have probably seen an ad for these on Facebook--they work! Just remember to flour the dough before rolling:
