How in all hell have I not heard of the Sampler until now? It's a subscription service where once a month a big fat envelope arrives in your mailbox stuffed with all manner of handmade goodies and indie business products. Founder Mary Kare is committed to keeping the quality of samples high, so she only opens subscriptions every once in a while. They're currently closed, but I'm so putting my name on the list to be notified when they're available. SFist posted an interview with Ms Kare today, and it's all kinds of inspiring, especially to someone starting to think about starting her own small business. And the Sampler also needs contributions, you crafty types...
