Where are the shopaholics when you need them? I know, I know! We are all shopping with caution,and spending within our means these days.. but i miss the old days!

The days when i felt like if i had checks in my checkbook,I had money.. the days when i could charge,charge,charge…

Everyone is going around trying to be good..not spending more than the cash in their pocket…

This is hard on retailers, i tell you! We count on the impulse buy, the over spend, the make your self feel better item!

Where are the shopping disordered hanging out these days??

Laurel Burch created the most beautiful brightly colored images.

When she passed away from a very painful bone disease, she left these images that are known worldwide.These images of fanciful cats,cats,horses,birds,and others have been reproduced in paintings,T-shirts,scarves,ceramics,and tote bags.

This medium sized Laurel Burch tote bag with the cut out ears is the most popular tote we sell.We have it available in 3 color patterns.

The best thing about this bag is that it is perfect for all ages!

Give A SHIT!

brooke — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 21:21:34 +0000

I don’t know if it is the age i am,the fact that my baby isn’t a baby anymore,the absolutely tumultous last couple of years we have had or

WHAT..

but lately i just feel like i need to be more vocal and more active about what happens in the city that I live in.

It all started a couple of years ago, when we sold our house that bordered on Ann Arbor and Saline.We had Saline schools and Ann Arbor mailing.
Our daughter went to Saline schools.However, i didn’t feel like I was really a part of the community.Sure, we would come downtown for dinner occasionally, and maybe hit the parade at Christmas but when we entertained we usually went to Ann Arbor.

We moved closer to downtown Saline to be closer to my daughters school as well as my office.

I started to get more involved in our local community,but still felt the need to do more.I have always wanted to open a brick and mortar(that is what we internet peeps call retail stores),and there was somewhat affordable space available in Saline,so it seemed like the perfect solution!
I would open my store,help to revitalize the downtown,satisfy both of my middle age pipe dreams!
My plan would work perfectly except for the fact that it has to be worst time in history to open a retail store,my financial situation is precarious at best,i allready worked 70 hours a week,and banks aren’t lending at all.

I DID IT ANYWAY

There is no bailout for us small business owners who make a mistake,if I want to live in a well rounded city,and be proud of my surroundings it is up to MOI .

One Saturday I was sitting at a day long volleyball tournament watching my daughter play,and this obnoxious man was trying to motivate his daughters team into playing better.

He kept yelling “Give A Shit” which was so inappropriate in the context of where we were,but I got what he was trying to say.

I am not asking you to open a retail boutique(unless you need a hobby),I am asking you to think about what you can do to help your community to be a better place.

Maybe you can commit to buying a cup of coffee a week from an independent coffee shop, or maybe you could plant a tree for a neighbor who needs it.

All I am asking is that you simply Give A Shit!
