Saving Small Business!

I'm not a small business owner, and I don't play one on TV, but there are few around my town that I don't want to see disappear. I can't single handedly save anyone (heck it's hard to single handedly cover groceries at times!) but if there's a little something I can do, it makes me feel good - and you know, sort of a part of things.

Yesterday I heard about this thing called the 3/50 Project - which is basically where you think of 3 small local businesses that you don't want to see close up shop, and go spend $50 a month there. Honestly, spending $150 bucks a month on anything other than household needs freaks me out, but then again it doesn't have to be all at once - and I realized I am already doing it at one place. There's this little coffee shop that I LOVE LOVE LOVE and if it closed I think it would break my heart. There is also a little restaurant acrossed the street where the hubs and I sneak off too, and probably thru out a months time we are spending $50. So now I just need to find a third...IF we can afford it, thats the catch 22!

Below is the link to the website with the details. I don't get anything out of you clicking it, I'm not into all that blog advertising stuff, I just like sharing junk that's cool. I think in order to be an official supporter you have to be a business, which like I said I am not, so I'll settle for being an undercover supporter...

Here's the little town I love and want to see stay alive & thrive:





Isn't it cute? You can find us almost every summer Saturday night right there on that little brick street, at the block party, laughing & listening to whatever band is there for to play. I have to get my date nights in when I can, cause about the only way I can drag the hubby out is if there is music involved!

And here's the little coffee house I love in Phoebus...called the Phoebus Coffee House, clever, eh?! ;)
