First, after assessing my gift certificates for Rustic Redefined, (on 8th St. in Wis. Rapids!) I needed to start my day with clothes shopping. Every woman's dream, right?
Side note: I'm not really a fan of shopping ... but with $250+ in gift cards from hubby and friends, I walked into the place like Vivian from Pretty Woman with "I have money to spend!" How fun is it to not even look at the price tag? A very foreign concept for us middle class folks.
But so enjoyable! Also.. GO THERE! They have such stylish and unique stuff.
I came away with a dress, two tops, a matching necklace, and cool summer handbag. And... still one more $100 gift card to spend.
Unrelated: My fashion show at home made me realize my advanced lady choices are "aged" because hubby showed no enthusiasm.
Who cares? I like what I got!!
After I got home, my friend and neighbor Cindy across the street and I headed down to Adams for Independent Book Store day.
If you are a bookworm of any type, visit Books on Main!
I was excited to get the last copy (in the store) of my book choice for Book Club in June. And 2 "unplanned" bonus books. Whoops. Can you stop us or only hope to contain us??
The one take away today between some very different types of retail / transactional experiences is that we should all think shop local first. And recognize not only the value of your transaction but your ability to support a personal passion for succcess!
