Shop Local & Support Small Businesses

If getting trampled, stomped on, bruised and elbowed by holiday shoppers isn't your thing (definitely not ours), consider shopping local in your neighborhood or shopping online with small businesses this after-Thanksgiving weekend (and beyond). If you live in Seattle, specifically in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, check this list.

And in this same vein, this Saturday is something called Small Business Saturday, a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year - we like the sound of that. Oddly it looks like American Express is behind this movement. "When we all shop small, it will be huge." And as a small business ourselves, each purchase really does make a big difference in all of our fights to survive during these harsh economic times.

One last note before we join our families for Thanksgiving, we'll be having some announcements next week so stay tuned. We bid you all a safe and healthy holiday.
