Rest up tomorrow because next is Cyber Monday!
I don’t know if we have this in our neck of the woods. TT_TT
It just started a few years ago – a way to give back to the businesses that keep the community connected. Small Businesses are the back bone of the economy and discovering them is fun. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Love those zebra print chairs and shoe wine bottle toppers! I need a chocolate cupcake now. Middletown looks like a nice community. Have a good weekend Antionette! 🙂
Thank you my dear, aren’t those chairs adorable. We have lived in Middletown 20 years and there are places I am still discovering. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. BTW – did you get the Shapewear?
Haven’t got the Shapewear yet. Maybe it’s taking a while because I live in Canada? I’ll email Lauren at Leonisa if it doesn’t arrive next week.
No, let me know as this is unacceptable!
Hurray for supporting small business. Those are some nice things you’ve featured. Love the black dress.
Really cool to see that one of the boutiques sells jewelry from the Danish brand Pandora:)
Oh Yes, Pandora Beads are very popular in the States!
wow, Antionette – Middletown looks like it has so many cool local stores! I love seeing all of it. I spent Black Friday at a wild cat (tigers, lions, ocelots, bobcats, cougars, etc) rescue…it was fantastic. And then I went thrifting on Saturday with my mom and out to dinner with the family. I did my shopping last week (locally, as much as possible). And have some more Xmas gifts to get (locally too).
Yes, this shop is a “divah’s” paradise and amazing that it can be found in lil ole Middletown. I didn’t shop because my guys are older and all they want is money!!! I thrifted on Friday and Saturday and got some great things…stay tuned!
can’t wait to see!
Those cupcakes! Wow!
Yes, and they were DELICIOUS!!!!
Wow. This is an awesome thing. I’m new to your sight and what I’m seeing is a blessing.
Thank you so very much – glad to have you as a new follower. Have a wonderful weekend.
