  Locally made jewelry on the low end...?

  1 0 If you don't care about buying in person, you could shop online and still buy local. Try going to Etsy, clicking the 'Buy' tab on the top left of the main page, click 'Shop Local' on the right, then input your location (city or zip, depending on just how local you're going for). You can limit your search results to jewelry. I just performed this search for Seattle, and got thousands of jewelry items. It's a good way to shop locally when people haven't expanded their production enough to get their wares into a local store. There are some talented people doing their thing on a really small scale around these parts. Disclaimer: I do not work for Etsy, I just prefer shopping online. The mall is my Waterloo. rickibot answered in Women's Fashion about 1 month ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  0 0 Thanks for the sourcing recommendation, asteria. Your parents' experience seems pretty consistent with the reviews I'm reading - some people have replaced their old machine with the same model, only new, and the new machine doesn't work like the old one does, probably because the new ones are manufactured somewhere else. We're definitely looking for a way to package extra food for the fridge or freezer. I don't think I'd be comfortable vacuum-sealing meat and not cooling it, except for jerky, maybe. rickibot commented 2 months ago

  1 0 Russ and Sacrelicious - meeting with you two was awesome :). Thank you so much for the wonderful conversation. We should do that again next time we're all in town. Captain - beats me, but I vote non-fiction. rickibot commented 2 months ago
