shop locally, and buy some art while you're at it!

Heather Ladick, of Zeppelin Threads, wrote a little editorial for The Cynthiana Democrat where she challenged readers to try shopping around town rather than relying upon Wal-Mart. In her writing, she explained that she has spent the past five months doing that very thing, and has relied upon “local” stores as much as possible, only making purchases out of town when there hasn’t been an alternative–and even then she has avoided large corporate or chain stores. I applaud her.
I for one would love to do the same, and will attempt to do so in the coming months. It will be a slight challenge for me, where I have grown so accustomed to strapping the kids in a cart and strolling up and down the aisles of a single store, but I think that I’ll manage.
On a related note, a dear friend of mine, Matt Hyatt, will be having a showing on May 31 at Ladick’s gallery. Matt will be showcasing and selling various pieces including photography and artwork. If you’re on Facebook you can find out more and RSVP here.
