I’m swapping clothing swaps for cookie swaps this month!

Swap.com and the Boston Food Swap are proud to bring you Boston’s most epic holiday cookie swap! We have partnered with the Glad to Give campaign, which will donate $.10 for every cookie swapped to Cookies for Kids With Cancer. So bring a giant batch (did we mention more money for kids with cancer for more cookies?), invite all of your cookie-making friends, and enjoy an afternoon of holiday cheer!

Not in to baking? Come and  fill a Glad container with cookies for a $20 donation to Cookies for Kids with Cancer.

I’ve been busy crafting some super secret one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces for the Start on the Street holiday fair next weekend. There will be plenty of vintage items from The Haberdash in our booth, but I wanted to create some items that would be perfect for gifting and made by me, so I hope you will come check them out!

Event Details:

stART on the Street brings its 6th annual gifting-themed arts and crafts festival to Worcester’s Union Station at 2 Washington Square on Sunday, December 4, from 11 – 5pm.

A special preview hour at 10am is available for a $5 donation, which comes with coffee, baked treats and a stART on the Street shopping bag, as well as shopping without the crowds.

Admission at 11am is free, though donations to help stART remain a free event are welcome.

This holiday season help us support the local economy and buy handmade!

ACCESS Boston

I have been waiting for this project to launch for months, so forgive me if im overly excited!

My friends over at Spreedia + New Brahmin have created a local shopping deal card that provides you with exclusive, members-only perks to your favorite local boutiques. HOW AWESOME! You present your card to participating retailers and receive 10% off your entire purchase every time you shop. Also as a card holder, you’ll gain first access to special sales and promotions. I love any reason I get to shop locally! I signed up as soon as the site went live today!

You can order your Access card here.
