When on a vacation, I will buy and eat local and SMALL, as much as possible, because as a small business myself, I know what it takes to set one up and keep it running.
So, what I take on vacation is always something that I purchased from a small business, preferably even handmade!
For that purpose, I love the fun handmade jewelry from Loretta Madden who is the business owner of CreativeBoxToronto, an Etsy shop, and based out of Toronto, Canada.
Find Creativeboxtoronto on Etsy!
I also love the vibrant and bold handmade jewelery by women run business paperandclay, an Etsy shop based out of North Carolina.
