Makers Monday

Posted on by TheAmericanEdit

Today is Makers Monday… a different take on Cyber Monday, if you will. To be completely honest with you, at first I wasn’t sure if I’d be sharing this shopping event… I love Shinola, the brand behind the event, but I wasn’t sure that the registered makers would be a fit for TAE. When I curate collections or seek out brands to share, the fact that the products are made in America is the final deciding factor, not the first, so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this list.

However, I was pleased to see some of my favorite brands on the list – and happily surprised to discover some new amazing brands. Above, my Makers Monday favorites!

and… if you are wondering… buying local does more than you think!

Hello Friends! I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving!

… so the list of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber & Makers Monday sales over on the TAE facebook page has gotten out of control – in the best possible way, if you are looking to do some shopping! Check it out and tell me what, if anything, you buy!

 

Instead of Black Friday…

Although I appreciate the sport of Black Friday, I can’t say I’m a huge fan… If I do partake, it’s always via the comfort of the interwebs. I usually try to support Small Business Saturday (register for a $10 credit when you make a purchase from supporting shops!) and am obviously incredibly excited about Makers Monday (take the pledge!)

We’re celebrating Thanksgiving in the mountains this year, so I most likely won’t be doing much shopping. However, I’m sharing my favorite Black Friday, Small Business Saturday & Makers Monday events and deals on the TAE Facebook page – please follow along and share your favorites!
