These are a Few of My Favorite Things...

We like to support small business when and where we can.  By doing so, money spent locally contributes to the local economy and helps create jobs.  Additionally these small mom & pop shops are a great place to discover locally made products.  For those trying to avoid crowds this time of year, you'll enjoy a faster, more personal shopping experience.

With so many positive reasons to shop locally, we are sharing some of our favorite Small Businesses right here on the South Shore.

     back in 2011 and have grown tremendously since then.
