Local Love
This weekend would normally be the kick off of my fall market season, but due to Covid I will not be attending any in person markets this year. I personally will miss being a vendor at markets this year and getting to chat with all the shoppers and other vendors! Since most in-person markets are not happening this year, I wanted to put together a list of great local makers and businesses for you to check out virtually!
