Small Business Saturday! Please take a moment today to consider purchasing from a small business for your holiday needs, whatever they might be. I’ve been thinking a lot about how all of the little local businesses aren’t actually competing with each other — we’re competing with Amazon, Shein, Temu, etc. It’s not easy!
Small business owners, please feel free to drop links to your businesses in the comments to this post! And anyone, if there’s a small business you want to recommend, tell us about it!

As for me, I’ll have cookbooks and tea towels and stationery and more at the Brown Cow Holiday Market today. Come by and say hi! I’m happy to sign / personalize books!
7347 Madison Street, Forest Park
12 – 5 p.m.; Santa’s Visit: 1 – 4 p.m.
NOTE: Carnivore Oak Park (1042 Pleasant Street, Oak Park) carries my cookbooks, curry powder, indie-designed tea towels, and saffron / chili flake jewelry. You can find even more of my items (but not the curry powder) at Berwyn Sprout (7129 Cermak Road, near the Party City and Tony’s in Cermak Plaza).
ALSO: You can purchase items from me online, including signed and personalized cookbooks, cancer memoirs, etc. https://serendibshop.com
