My oldest daughter and I had a great time sneaking off for a bit of one-on-one shopping yesterday while visiting family in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. Naturally, we hit up our favorite local businesses as we always do on our visits. But since today is Small Business Saturday, here’s some snapshots from our fun.
I also hit up my favorite vintage shop, The Green Bean, earlier in the week with just my sister-in-law. For months I’ve had my eye on a beautiful blue typewriter in a pristine white case. During this trip I finally said, “That has been here for several months. I’m very interested in it but I think the price is very high.”
She offered it half off and I said sold! The typewriter will go under the tree for Christmas, with new ink ribbons, for my oldest daughter who is spending lots of time writing stories lately. I know she’ll LOVE it. As you’ll see in the last photo here, she gets a big smile out of old stuff.
