I saw this Twitter post from ErieBlogs contributor and GlobalErie blogger Dale Hannah this morning and it got me thinking:
We’re lucky to have a thriving arts community as well as great shops like Glass Growers and Relish. I want to support them this holiday season – so let’s make up a directory of artists and stores, where you can buy online as well as offline, and let’s help support local people, businesses and jobs this holiday season.
Jeff McCullor already sent in one to start us off! Thanks, Jeff. He sent in a link to Winking Lizard Pottery, who sells their goods over at Etsy.
You can leave a comment on this post or fill out our contact form and I’ll add them to this page page with all their information.

I am a local artist that does a variety of crafts. I just finished doing the Warner Winter Wonderland craft show and had a awesome weekend. I also do home parties my main craft is jewelry but I also like to do works of art other then jewelry with wire like ornaments, wind chims, sun catchers and scuplted beads worked around bottles made to burn candles. My web has only my jewelry but I would be happy to share my other works of art so send me an email or call my contact information is on my we.

Huge fan of Etsy! If you go to the site and look under the “Buy” tab you can choose to “Shop Local” – I just checked – 31 crafters show up for Erie, PA. Search wider and get more.
Another great opportunity to support locals – The Schoolhouse Craft Festival at McDowell this weekend. One of the best shows in our area every year.
Happy shopping!
also this weekend is Gallery Night at many local galleries AND the Northwestern Pennsylvania Artists Association is hosting a holiday show/sale this weekend, beginning with a party tonight from 6 -10 p.m. at 1020 Holland.
