Tomorrow, Saturday November 26th, is the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday! It is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year…small businesses create half of the jobs in the private sector, in fact, they have created 65% of the net new jobs over the last 17 years…if we support independently owned small businesses in our community, we can truly make a difference…today’s post is a tribute to twelve of my favorite small businesses in the Boston area…from colorful silk scarves at Artisans Way in Concord to a wooden box of chocolate mice from L.A. Burdick Handmade Chocolates in Cambridge, these lovely shops are filled with unique gift ideas for everyone on your list!

Wishing you a glorious holiday weekend! Happy shopping!

artisans way

Friday evening, 11/28/11, marked the official grand opening of Artisans Way! Located at 18 Walden Street in historic Concord center, the 2000 square foot space offers a gorgeous collection of fine art, jewelry, wooden crafts, pottery, metal sculpture, textiles, art glass, furniture and more…store owners Liz Stevenson and Jodie Apeseche are a match made in heaven! From the moment you walk through the front door, you can’t help but be lifted up by their wide smiles and sweet laughter…a positive energy that only comes from true happiness…their passion for fine art and contemporary craft is realized in this remarkable store…every piece is carefully chosen with a curated eye and a pure love for what they do…it’s been said time and time again, find what you love and the rest will fall into place…Liz and Jodie have followed their hearts and found what they love…how exciting for us that we can share in their dream come true…
