Buy Local, buy handmade - barter if you can!

Hello -

I am a big fan of buying handmade, buying local and bartering when possible! I live in the hills of Western Massachusetts.

I sell my handmade goods at: http://earthskyfirewater.etsy.com
My husband's handmade goods: http://oakandacorn.etsy.com
My mom's handmade goods: http://marybethknits.etsy.com

Some good buy local sites:
