Small Business Saturday: Support Hardworking Creators
Shopping locally is always a good idea, but this holiday season, the livelihood of small businesses depends on it. It means nurturing your local economy and keeping the spirit of your community alive. Independent makers are among those who have suffered the most in the wake of the pandemic, and while they’ve always been there for us, we now need to be there for them. With Small Business Saturday around the corner, we are featuring some of our favorite makers, who create one-of-a-kind gifts that are truly meaningful.
To begin, we are so thankful for interior designers who are leading the charge by shopping small and promoting our Creators! Here are some of their words to live by:
