Did you know that the Saturday after Black Friday is “Small Business Saturday”?  Me either…until I totally missed it by being CLOSED the first year.  This year, Plume will be closed on Thanksgiving & Black Friday but we’d love to have you join us in support of local small business on Saturday November 28th.  

Nothing shows you care quite like a handmade gift.  Don’t have time to make one yourself this year?   We have you covered with this list of 10 handmade gift ideas, all for under $25.  When you shop at Plume, you’re not only supporting my small business, but the small businesses, families and dreams of every maker within Plume…and we thank you.
