I was casually scrolling on Facebook the other day and I came across the image to the right. It reads:
“November is Buy Some Art from a Local Artist Month. (Okay, maybe we made that up.) But seriously, shop small and support artists this season.”
I remarked that I had list of authors you can buy from directly (me, included), and I know other artists (jewelers, quilters, knitters, digital painters, etc.) who would love to make your holidays warm and sparkly.
So someone called me on it and asked for the list. It took me a bit to compile it, but here you go. A small list of artists and authors where you can buy direct. Let’s make their holidays as sparkly as our own.
