Made in America Monday - Commit to #ShopLocal for the Holidays

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know that two things are very important to me when it comes to shopping:  buying local and buying American.  While I could never swear off the mall, (I'm pretty sure shrivel up and die without Anthro or Forever 21) I make a real effort to buy locally or American-made goods whenever possible.  To that end I have partnered with other local bloggers in a #ShopLocal campaign to promote all of the great shopping that Rochester, New York has to offer.  I feel blessed to live in a city with such a burgeoning creative community.  There are so many talented artisans here and I can't wait to share them with you!

I would also like to encourage you to make an effort to #ShopLocal and #BuyAmerican this holiday season.  It really is a great way to support your local economy and give your dollar the most profound impact.
