local events: It's Holiday Bazaar Season!
- 11/08/13 01:36 AM
It's funny that I get excited about bazaar season because I am not much of a shopper. However, over the years what I have realized is that I am not much of a traditional shopper. I hate the mall. Clothing shopping bites. But, I am always interested in home made items, local trades and products and the such. I happen to really enjoy supporting my friends that have home based businesses (MLM or not - who cares if it is an MLM, my friends are getting out there and making a business for themselves). I love the Expo portion of the … (0 comments)
