Purposeful Purchasing

okay so I should have put this post out about 5 days ago, but it has been a whirlwind. It's not the Christmas season, it's my life- some days its just spinning out of control. So here is my post in all of its late glory

Its Saturday.( Obviously not now, but..)  

 Hope you go to enjoy your chill Friday night. (I did and it was the last time I actually took a breath) The kids came up with  a few creative things for gifts .I on the other hand have a few artistic challenges.    

The shopping centers are bustling right now and I bet there are a few things on your list to still get. It seems like the out of town gifts have a deadline pretty close to this Monday if we want everything there on time.  So as your out and about today stop by some unusual places. We are fortunate to a have a plethora of artist around the Eastern Shore. Buy a thing of beauty that will be a joy forever. And buy it local.  Art is on display at various restaurants, galleries, and even at Thomas Hospital.   So visit The Sugar Kettle in Daphne and scan their walls for a unique treasure, Take a walk in Fairhope and stroll into the Eastern Shore Art Center checking out the latest exhibit  . Call up BRAG , mobile studio or head down to Orange Beach to learn glass blowing while creating a gift for Aunt Sally.  

Not only will you support your community, grab a one of a kind present but you will have spent time with the ones you love in exploration of your own backyard!!   You just hit as triple in the purpose department!!!  Girl, you get that extra peppermint shot from Coffee Loft (insert your town’s coffee shop) , you’re going to need it to keep up with your fabulous self!!
