Shop Small ~ Shop Local
I just realized that tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, by reading Roots Antiques newest post, located in my Other Favorite Blogs list. Ever since I "discovered" this darling little shop, (by seeing a sign on the side of a business van on Hwy 40 near the St. Louis Zoo!) I've been wanting to actually see it in person. I've only read the blog posts, and e-mailed back and forth with the fantastic women who own it. And, so... I just made the decision that tomorrow is the day to make the trip: It's in a part of southwest St. Louis that I just love: Maplewood - Webster Groves - Kirkwood.
I hope to find some goodies to bring home, but if not, I'm sure I'll find a great place to stop and have lunch! ☺

Aw, I wish I were riding along with you tomorrow! (Be there, in spirit!)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your "show n' tell" Becky ... have fun and stay safe out there!

Hi Myra! I wish you could ride along with me, too! I'll know you're there in spirit, though! Thank you!
DeleteHope you find all that you hope to find and, if not, have a great lunch.
ReplyDeleteHi Mimsie! Thanks!! That's all I can ask for, right?! :)
DeleteIt sounds like a wonderful outing - with a win whatever happens. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC! It sure does...and even though it's cold this morning, it's sunny and "supposed" to be fairly warm!
DeleteHope you have a great time.
ReplyDeleteHave a super Saturday.
Best wishes Molly
Thank you, Molly the Wally! Wishing you a super Saturday, too.
DeleteI would love to come and visit that shop with you Becky! I totally agree with you about small shops. I always try to support them as much as I can. What a delightful poem for us as well! Hope you're enjoying your trip today.
ReplyDeleteHappy to read that you appreciate Small Business Sat as much as I do. Hope you found the placce and found it charming!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great list. I need to remember to do these things every day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a super outing on Saturday, and found all kinds of goodies, even if they were only the kind that came to you served on a luncheon plate.
ReplyDeleteHope you had fun shopping, Becky. I must have missed your book release--congratulations! Hope it all goes well for you. Congrats on the signing, too. I'm so happy for you!
