Tell Us About Your Favorite Purveyors7 Comments (See All) 1.8/14/08 at 10:00 a.m. ETI love Green Mountain Spinnery in Putney VT (www.spinnery.com). They are worker owned and spin their yarns from US grown fibers (alpaca, mohair, wool and organic cotton). And, they make every effort to purchase directly from individual growers. Their 100% wool yarns are spun entirely from New England fleece. And, it's right across the street from the Putney Inn so make a weekend of it - especially nice in October. 2.8/05/08 at 1:29 a.m. ETI just discovered a wonderful site for finding goods and food made in your area. The site is called Locallectual (www.locallectual.com) and you can find goods by searching by category, by country, by state, by city, or even by mileage radius of a zipcode. It's a great source for those who want to buy local! 3.7/28/08 at 8:50 p.m. ETMy favorite purveyor in Rhode Island is Mikija Handbags -- they sell their handmade papryus handbags completely online now at www.mikija.com. Prices range from $20-$30 -- and make fabulous gifts! They're based in Newport, RI and are produced at their prodcution facility in RI. |
