No matter what town we live in, the need to shop local is important. And yet, people are going to the malls or online. Our main streets will be empty soon. We are seeing more and more little shops and boutiques closing their doors. It's sad but it's more than that. It's a problem that we are all not in this together as a community.
Part of why we live in this little town is the great community. Yet even I don't feel supported sometimes with what I'm trying to accomplish with tottieBEAN. I don't think it's ill-will but folks not understanding how hard it is to make a simple swimsuit or shirt or anything for that matter. We are the Big Gulp generation - we want it big, cold and fast and don't care about how we get it but just want it now. That takes out all the enjoyment, in my opinion.
Wendy Pepper Equestrian is timely and it's locally appropriate and I just hope that this town and the surrounding areas that are horsey all come and support her by purchasing a pair of these great breeches.
We all talk too much via email these days and you can tell that by looking at your average teen who is texting their friends all day long. We need to slow the texting a bit and learn to appreciate all that our towns have to offer because if we aren't careful the charm will be gone.
