I support local shops as much as I can.  On the menu at Ella&#39;s, it says something along the lines of &quot;Start just by thinking about your three favorite local stores, the ones that you would be really sad to not have around anymore, and support those.&quot;  Which seems like great advice to me (and it&#39;s always great to eat at Ella&#39;s, too!).<br /><br />But as the proud owner of a &quot;local&quot; online store (www.digitalisindustries.com) that couldn&#39;t even exist as a brick-and-mortar store, who loves to shop locally on Etsy too, I have to ask you to remember us too!  You may not pay sales tax to the city when you buy my stuff, but that money still comes right back around.
