Saturday November 29th is #SHOPSMALL day where sweet small businesses NOT big box stores celebrate,flaunt (with pride)and share the beauty of their businesses in their own way. Started just three years ago by American Express but also in on the beautiful shop small shopping fun is Federal Express.
Since I own a retail and online business I will celebrate this wonderful day too.
I hope you will…shop small and visit shops in your neighborhood
Look for the ads,posts on Social Media and the WELCOME mat that greets you at the door.
Enjoy a cup of cheer,a decadent edible and a FREE shop small eco tote bag (shipped free with our welcome mat) by FedEx to our businesses…if you are lucky enough to be one of the first shoppers at one of your participating those stores.
For today and the next I will be spending time with family (via phone calls) and my sweetie TODAY and enjoying the beauty of Thanksgiving. I wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving with all my heart!
