It’s the time of year when many people start thinking about holidays, and gift giving, and shopping for gifts. As an alternative to spending money at big box stores where the owners values probably don’t align with your own, check out the listings below — all items, goods, and services provided by our very own kossacks (or family/friends thereof)!
The Kos Katalogue is a listing of an individual kossack’s goods or services available for purchase. Buying from these listings means your money goes to someone who generally shares your ideals, and in many cases contributes directly to the proprietor’s livelihood. What could be better than that? So, without further ado, allow me to introduce the new and improved Kos Katalogue! Shop links are bolded and underlined, below the fold. (My apologies for the lack of an interactive Table of Contents, but DK5 does not play nicely with that type of html encoding.)
