When you make a purchase at a small business you are really contributing to stimulation of your local economy,” said Colleen McClue, owner of Made in the Mitten. “It’s great to step away from mass-produced items, and support a unique, driven individual who put a lot of time and effort into creating their product. I hope to keep growing so that we can have more and more entrepreneurs featured in the store,” she continued.
