Here in the Cleveland Ohio area, we have so many great artist communities to support. I always look for the unique pieces of housewares or products. To shop in the large chain stores is so boring! I always try to support the local / small business and to get to know the people who work there. If I could start my own business, it would be an architectural salvage company. So much is wasted in our lifestyle. Artists and craftspeople really know how to make the most of their talents and skill.
