YOUR GUIDE TO SHOPPING LOCAL
I don’t know about you guys, but I often struggle to find local businesses
who are making the stuff I want. I mean, I know they’re out there,
but how do I find them? I knew I couldn’t be the only one
so I decided to create a list to make shopping local a little bit easier.
So here it is.
My definitely not all-inclusive reference list
of BC + AB small businesses, for anyone:
Looking to support local
Searching for fresh home decor
Trying to source ethically-made pieces
Seeking all-natural alternatives
Needing something custom
Shopping for a unique gift
