time to shop, save & share...

it's time for holiday shopping bargains! From October 24th (friday)-November 2(sunday), you can use the junior league "shop, save & share card" to get 20% off merchandise at several of your favorite retail shops...including red wagon! you can purchase your card here for $40, which all goes to the junior league to benefit various community projects. 

but...before you go on a crazy shopping binge, please take a moment to think of local small businesses! while many of the chain shops we all love are accepting the card, i urge you to shop local! especially now, while the economy is shaky, wouldn't you rather your dollars stayed in YOUR community?! great shops in Homewood, Mountain Brook, Cahaba Heights, and Vestavia are all participating...no need to fight the crowds at the summit!

so get your card and go for it!

holiday gift giving...

i know it still feels like summer, and the pumpkins have just been purchased for Halloween, but i feel like i have to get my holiday message out early! it's sooo tempting to run out and stock up on all kinds of christmas wrap the minute it hits the shops...but please don't! take a minute and think about how you can cut back on your waste this year, by using some creative and REUSEABLE wrapping options. in some cases you'll even save money doing this, or at least feel better knowing your money didn't get spent on meaningless paper that went straight to a landfill 3 weeks after you bought it. i encourage you to find alternatives this year....tins, fabric, newspaper, handmade paper, jars, boxes and ribbon...there are so many ways to create a memorable gift! even if what you're wrapping is small in size or monetary value, make it special and beautiful and feel good doing it by not contributing to the bags of paper waste we create each holiday season! happy wrapping!!
