There are so many talented people in our community who craft, create and curate, and I am all about shopping locally. Thanks to the internet, finding local artisans is super easy. Sites like Etsy.com let you search for shops right here in Northern Colorado. 

There are tons of Etsy-ers at our finger tips, but if you want to keep your cash in the community, check out these five stand-outs from right here in our backyard. (AND, you won't have to fight the crowds during the holiday season.)
