As much as I like to support local purveyors and artisans, not everything I need is readily accessible, especially since we moved upstate. The internet puts so much within reach, from all over the globe. I try to be mindful of my carbon footprint but I cannot resist the wonderful resources I share with you here. Take a moment and explore their tantalizing wares.
