Happy Cyber Monday (whatever that means). Has Christmas really come down to this? How our online shopping can save the economy? Being in the retail biz, of course I want to support businesses and artists and worthy websites. But maybe we could also use this economic downturn to reexamine our spending habits and redirect our resources towards hunting down, recycled, re-purposed and handmade gifts right here in Napa.
My suggestion is that we all gather at the Napa Craft Fairs and keep the money we spend in Napa, in the arts. Here are some great opportunities that I know of. If I've missed anyone, please email me at info@napanest.com. Come out from behind the computer and shop in your hometown!
