Loving the Local

It is a great week for spreading the word about Modern Domestic. We have had two lovely pieces in one short week and are totally feeling the love. It is wonderful to hear what people think, see, and feel when they come in to MD. And the photos, they are just beautiful. Have a look at what the Choose Local folks have to say about MD.

We had a great time with Lily and Michael and hope they come back and sew with us soon. Choose Local is a great organization that supports independent businesses through a network of mutually supportive relationships.

This blurb from their website says it all:

Why Shop Local?

Why should I shop locally rather than at a big national chain? A dollar spent at a locally owned store is usually spent 6 to 15 times before it leaves the community. From $1.00, you create $5.00 to $14.00 in value within that community. Spend $1.00 at a national chain store, and 80% of it leaves town immediately…

We think being a part of the local independent business community here in Portland is super dreamy. All this support and understanding of the difference between us and the big box stores is something to be proud of for sure.
