This is important, remember, remember, the 7th of December! Tomorrow, Saturday, is a big holiday shopping day for many attending local artisan markets. I encourage you to visit and patronize the small, indie, local artists in your hood as well as online. Perhaps mixing up some of your purchases from various venues, instead of purchasing all online from big corporations like the one named after the rainforest.
Santa Fe, NM is a beautiful, bustling hub of diverse arts, individuality and colorful people, this is why we are called The City Different. Our town is also the oldest capital city in US, a place where you will find people of all ages meeting to chat, get a bite, browse, buy real things and bump into locals on a daily basis....while enjoying the scent of burning pinon in the winter.
I'd like it to stay local, without the conglomerates that have started to filer in the last few years. My sense is that may have happened with the icky governor that was luckily voted out in our last election. Our town is filled with tiny, terrific local food spots, galleries and sweet, locally owned stores.
I say NO to a homogenized, generic ghost town and choose not to support those businesses. If your town means something to you, please have a think about supporting local, independent businesses this Holiday season. The fate is in our hands. Support the little gals & guys.
And here is a reminder of a local tour/market I will be participating in...
