3 Spots to Shop LOCAL This Holiday Season

Let's buy local, let's support our local artisans! That's what's being suggested to us. That's what we, Quebecers, are going to do for our Christmas shopping.

Yes, I agree... but like you, I get lost and I've asked myself several questions?

Yes, but where?
Yes, but at what price?
Yes, but will it arrive in time for Christmas if I don't order from Amazon?

So I'm sharing with you 3 places (online or on-site with the possibility of private appointments) where discounts and very interesting prices are offered, and where you'll be assured of efficient delivery.

Okay, this shop is my happiness therapy, both online and in-store.
