Why buy local? Buying local encourages local prosperity, puts your tax dollars to good use, and is an invest in the community.   “Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally-owned business, rather than a nationally-owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers, and farms — continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.” – SustainableConnections.  For full article please go to   sustainableconnections.org/thinklocal/why

Hope you will support local Michigan handmade and vintage sellers.  Thank you and happy shopping.
