The 3/50 Project
I came across the 3/50 project before but I've never totally paid attention. Oooooppps , so sorry! Anyway, I came across about it again today in a trade magazine & read the whole flyer. Me,myself has been consciously shopping at independent retailers whether it's fashion or home decor. Aside from a personalized service, the merchandise selection has been edited by the chic boutique owners behind them & yes, i have to use this overused phrase, "the items are definitely unique & one-of-a-kind." Ok, I still shop at some big retailers like West Elm & Crate and Barrel but feel good that I've been following the 3/50 project's rule for quite a while.

I love the 3/50 project concept. Small business is the backbone of our economy (ours also..I am a Canadian). I am going to do a post on it also. Thanks for introducing me to it.
Kindest Regards

Patricia, that would be wonderful. It's very true, small business & independent retailers i sthe backbone of our economies (US or canada). I recently met Cinda at the Chicago market & she's so gracious. She would love that the word is spreading even in Canada.
