I am really gratified by the number of people who have come in lately and told me that they shop at Heritage because they want us to be here. Many of them go on to say that while they look on the Internet, they know it is no cheaper to shop locally and they are helping to preserve a resource. Comments like these tickle me down to my toes.

 

I've been trying to do my bit for the locals - all within walking distance of the shop. M&B Graphics made banners almost overnight for Knit Michigan. The new jewelers repaired my broken necklace and are making an earring for me. Tesori is tempting me with a sale coming up next week on Troll beads (a favorite of mine). Little Monsters provides fun little gifts for staff members (a sheep duck, just too cute!). Elements always has great gifts and the new stationery store looks intriguing. I met Tonya, the owner, at a meeting last week but haven't had a chance to stop in yet. They're on my list. Not only is it helpful to our community and Michigan to shop close to home, it is so much more fun to do business with people who have ownership in the business. When's the last time you had a warm fuzzy feeling in a big box store? It happens downtown all the time! Come on down and make a day of it.

 

Happy Fibering!
