Shop these Great Small Businesses for the Holidays

Over the years I’ve met friends and have family members who love to create. I know it’s not easy to promote your own products. So much goes into design, actual creation, packaging, marketing, selling, and so on. Today I wanted to share several small business owners that I know personally or are friends of friends. They all have beautiful and unique products that you’re sure to love. As always, thank you for supporting me by reading this blog and supporting small businesses by purchasing their products.
