With brands like Amazon, Ebay, Walmart and all the other big names raking in millions of dollars practically every day, it is important to support the small mom-and-pop shops around you. I have always been a huge advocate of shopping small and supporting local business, and not just the ones where I live. Websites like Etsy have made it even easier to support small businesses online.
Here are just five Etsy businesses you can support to help shop local.

This earring shop has absolutely beautiful pieces. These one of a kind earrings will surely make you stand out in a crowd. She constantly releases new lines and only makes a couple of each style so make sure to buy them as soon as they hit the shop, you won’t regret it. If I had the money I would buy all the earrings she sells!
