This past weekend I was invited to be a guest artist during the Guthrie Art Walk at a new and very wonderful store named the Velvet Vue. I really enjoyed myself watching people as they walked through the doors. I talked to many folks as they browsed the store. Some stayed for just a couple minutes but many stayed quite awhile.
Now, as you know, this is NOT Wal-Mart. The size of the store is about the size of WOOLWORTHS. Yes the store you remember, back before...well.. yes, I'm showing my age. Okay the size of Walgreens. Yes, it may be on the small size for todays BIG and Bustling World, but it has so many really neat things in that store! There is antique furniture, beautiful glass vases, and yes my Scratchboard pictures too. But there is also natural lotions and doggie clothes and ohh so many stocking stuffers.
I hope as you do your Christmas shopping this year you consider shopping at many of the small local, or small neighboring towns like Guthrie, shops that are selling one-of-a-kind, or unique items, sometimes for a lot better prices than something similar in the big stores. "Shop Small" starts November 28. I hope you have a great time browsing the "small" stores.
