Day 6 of Gratitude-Small Business

If you know me at all, you know I'm a fan of small business & Artisans. I LOVE doing business with people that take the time to learn your name, maybe a bit of your "history" or personal needs & quirks!  From my local mechanic Paul, who knows my driving history ( "Shell, your brakes are bad because you don't drive this car enough! Your Mileage is low, but they're rotten") and drops off my car or pics it up, to my friend Barb who does my printing ("Okay, so you needed this yesterday and brought it in today??"), my friends that Ship my packages and offer me a fresh baked cookie- Moi, "You have Lynn's Address is your computer, right?"-and they Do while I munch on my warm cookie, or my friend Todd, at Bountiful Home in Edmonds (Cute little town near Seattle on the Water) who asked me if I wanted to do a Holiday Trunk Show of Christmas Creations and Vintage goodies! Heck Yeah!

(Gorgeous Autumnal Entry to Bountiful Home)

Todd is the perfect example of a Small Business owner who promotes Other small businesses and artists!! And I feel Honored to have a "Bountiful Day" in his lovely Store! I'll be there
 Saturday, October 17th from 10am-5pm,,,,,

Tomorrow I'll pick up Cards/Flyers from my friend Barb, mentioned above and take them to some of my  other Small Business friends to promote the Event! And don't forget, Friday is Joyworks Holiday Open house (Details on my Sidebar) .....

Support Small Business, unless of course you'd rather buy all your Cra*,,,,,stuff at the Box Stores,,,because if you don't support them, that's gonna be your selection!!

Hugs Love and a "Small" but Oh so important "Bus"
