Small Business Highlight: Handmade Items

I presented a question on IG Story asking about your favorite small businesses that made handmade items for a campaign that I’m working on. I received so many amazing recommendations to small businesses that I wanted to create a space to feature all those that were submitted! Let’s continue to shop small and support our local small businesses.
