Vibrant oranges, yellows, and red, white and blues!
Is this Fall not the most beautiful one we have ever had? The leaves are more vibrant then I have ever seen! I love seeing bright yellow leaved trees popping out between the evergreens and deep orange and red leaves scattered all over the ground. Our kids can actually enjoy a real leaf pile this year. Dive in!
Today is an especially vibrant red, white, and blue day: Election Day!! I know we have all been effected by the economy the last few months and so today is a very important day for all of us, our nations history, and how it will effect our lives and our children’s lives for the next 4 years.
The first thing to be effected when the economy gets tight is shopping. Of course! It is hard to spend money shopping when we are unsure of what the future holds. That said, when we do shop, it is so important to exchange your precious dollars with small businesses. Seattle is filled with independent shops that we all adore and love and need. By supporting small local businesses you are supporting fair wages and keeping the money you do spend circulating in your local economy. These small businesses are what give our city its character. I don’t think I have ever heard someone boast “come to Seattle! I’ve got to take you to our Walmart! it is so cool!”
Twig will be helping you stretch your dollars and have fun at the same time. We’lI be offering classes throughout Fall and Winter here at TWIG. Knitting, sewing, cross-stitch, writing, and more to help you with do-it-yourself projects for this holiday season. How fun would it be to monogram all of your child’s clothing or make him/her a plush animal?! Doing things together in a group is a great way to feel connected with others. Being creative is so important in keeping us sane. Twig will even offer kits for the projects to keep it as simple as possible. I will be posting a schedule soon.
A new shipment of Kate Quinn will arrive soon as well as wee-go glass bottles, including the four ounce size. yeah!
Warmest,
Angela
