November.... yikes.
If you haven't even begun to think about holiday shopping (guilty), don't despair! We've got a whole calendar full of fun classes and drop-in crafts available here at the Craft Happy studio. Even if you don't consider yourself a crafty person, we've got what it takes to walk you through the creative process, so you can give a gift this year that's truly handmade.
With the middle of November upon us also comes Buy Local Month! Did you know that every shop here in historic downtown Summerville is independently owned? Yup, we are. We're locals South Carolinians, just like you, and we wouldn't be here without you and your support.
Local businesses are the ones who donate to your schools, churches and charitable organizations. Just try looking for a large chainstore name at your next silent auction (you won't find one). What you will see are long lists of names of locally-owned businesses.
Also, 45% of everything you spend at a local business goes immediately back into your local economy- through taxes, local jobs, and local supplies. You are truly making a difference right here buy choosing to Buy Local!
We love being in downtown Summerville, and hope to see you this November and December as you choose to keep your money here in our economy.
** If you're like us, and want even more local savings, in both Summerville & all of Charleston, ask about the awesome new Buy Local card next time you're at the studio! Cha-Ching!
