It’s that crazy time of year, when we shop just a little more than usual & even with the best of intentions it’s easy to head out to the big malls & grab everything you need in one place.
Shop Small Australia created an initiative that supports local business & encourages us to shop small & shop local. They enlisted the help of Australian celebrities (including some of my favourite bloggers!) in making a map to walk us through their favourite small & local shops.
I am pretty lucky that I have so many stores, cafes & services local to me, so I decided to join in the fun & create my own map! (Firstly, apologies for my map, it’s not the prettiest! I’m quite obviously no graphic artist!! But I hope you get the idea!)
