Small Businesses to Support Through the Holidays


Last week I posted in my local facebook groups a Google Form where locals could submit their small businesses to be included in this blog post. I was shocked at how many people responded!! I think of it like an Etsy – but HYPER local. I am in PA. Think of all the art fairs and festivals with vender upon vender lined up to show off their hand-made goods. I’m here to bring all of them together in a place where you can look to source holiday season presents rather than the big box stores.

Disclaimer – NONE of these are affiliate links 😉 I hope to collaborate personally with more of these vendors in the future with my small business, Closings with Kristy, and have already started planning pop-up events with a few! Please keep in mind, if you know anyone that is looking to buy or sell real estate in the Philadelphia, Montco or Bucks County!
