Today’s guide comes from Chelsea Stairs of Coterie Market, Austin’s newest home delivery service for all things local and artisanal.  If you are like me, if you can’t order it online, there is a good chance you aren’t going to get it.  Getting out of the office or studio during the day to run errands is near impossible most days, and it always frustrates me when I end up buying from a big box retailer instead of supporting local and keeping my money here in Austin.  Coterie Market is the answer for a lot these needs!  Have a dinner party and need a few bites?  A last minuet birthday present, thank you or hostess gift?  Coterie Market will deliver locally made goods for FREE to your door.  They are in a soft launch of the website now {ordering is done through their newsletter} but the website will be in full effect next week.
