Okay, so it's Black Friday--but don't forget that tomorrow is
Small Business Saturday! Either way, for your holiday shopping, please consider giving your money to small businesses, individual artisans, and other members of the 99% who could use the income! Every dollar that you give to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, or any of a number of chain stores in the mall, might get you cheaper stuff made in China, but you're supporting a supply chain of underpaid people who do the actual, often health-threatening work, and a few wealthy CEOs and corporations that are actively working against YOUR interests. Where do you want YOUR dollar to go?
And in that spirit of things...first of all, a reminder of
winneganfake's
various collections of
info and links for
artisans and crafters--and shoppers! If you're an artisan, there's still time to get your info in there, and if you're looking to buy, take a peek at the offerings there--and keep checking back as new people add their info!
Also, in addition to
the Epic Flaming Artichoke Birthday Post with TONS of information on my art, books, readings, and more, those of you in Portland, Seattle and the Oregon Coast can check out my art and writings IN PERSON!
Here's a current list of where you can find my stuff!And I do a lot of vending, plus I'm ramping up my workshop schedule again--
here's where you can find me in the months to come, and again I'm always looking for new opportunities. I've presented at a number of pagan festivals, from Heartland to the Florida Pagan Gathering, numerous events at Brushwood Folklore Center, and more! Also,
if you'd like to have me at your event, here's some basic booking info.
