Having been a small business owner for most of my adult life, I understood the struggles that impact small business owners and artisans. My vision was to create a space that could positively impact those around me and throughout the world to create a substantive impact! Human kindness is often missing in today's busy world. If we could each make small lifestyle changes such as making purchases that support each other, how much could we positively impact one another and the lives and communities we are in?
