Leesburg Shopping: Online and Local

Etsy.com and Leesburg retailers offer customers the chance to shop from home.

Buying locally can be as easy as shopping from home on your computer.  Etsy.com, a web site for creative and entrepreneurial vendors, has created a search system to find sellers by location. 

Etsy currently lists 2,680 items sold from various Leesburg vendors. 

How about a poseable redheaded angel ornament, handsewn and embroidered by Kara Loughlin?
