Technically, I have lived in Ohio, Kentucky and Michigan - so let's cover all three!
I am big on supporting women, minority and local-owned businesses.
(See my previous post about Gumbo and Blankets!)
So, I thought I would dedicate this post to more "local" type businesses. Some of these are larger companies, but they do employ the local workers - so I like to rank them a little higher on my buy list. And I am only listing the items that I use (or that I find interesting)...
I would love to put great comments next to all of these, but...
Yeah, no time or energy or creativity!
