Saturday November 24 is Small Business Saturday! This is national movement to remind people to buy from their friends and neighbors who run a small business. Many of our farmgirl sisters own an Etsy or online store. Won't you join me for a day of shopping and supporting America's small businesses and these entrepreneurs??Please mark you calendars and lets help make November 24 the best Shop Small Business Saturday Day ever!! I plan to be at my computer early to do some Christmas shopping and support my small business friends!

A couple of girl friend and I are going to be drinking coffees from our local coffee shop and strolling around our downtown to see what we can find if child care and weather permit. I'm a Seattle girl, so a bit of wind and rain doesn't bug me in the least, but others don't always share my appreciation for a good gloomy day, in which case I will be hitting the etsy shops

Hi Everyone---Let's keep this conversation going and post a reply with your store link and a bit of what you specialize in so that all of the other farmgirls know how to find your store for Small Business Saturday! Please note if you are having a sale or discount (buy one get one half off etc.) This morning on an advertisement I heard that women are the largest group nationally starting up small businesses!! That would be all of our talented Farmgirls here!! (GRIN) So, let's keep this post coming up at the top by adding lots of links and help our farmgirls have the most successful shopping weekend ever!!

What is the link to your shop??? Inquiring minds of farmgirls want to know!!

Happy Post Thanksgiving Farmgirls! Just a reminder to visit our online Farmgirl stores this weekend while you consider gifts for your family and friends. Lots of sales and specials are currently offered.

And please don't forget that tomorrow, November 24, is Small Business Saturday!! Please get out and support your local businesses and our Farmgirl online stores and help boost the sales of our hard working Farmgirl entrepreneurs.

If you are reading this post, please comment and let us know your web address of your store so we can get out the word for you here on the Connection. I have also noticed that there are links under the topic Marketplace as well so be sure to check those out as well.

Happy Black Friday and I will be joining you tomorrow on Small Business Saturday for some cyber shopping!

Great topic. I love to support local, small businesses (even if the prices are a bit higher, I feel it is worth it.) Count me in for doing as much shopping tomorrow as I can in this manner.

Blessings,
Chelley

I am trying to be the person my dogs think I am.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Hi Farmgirls! Ohh, I have been enjoying a cup of Pumpkin Spice cofee and visiting lots of farmgirl online shops! Small Business Saturday is the perfect reminder for all of us to buy local and support those who work so hard to earn a living by having their own small business pursuits. I bought a few gift items already which I cannot wait to give this year!

Have fun shopping today and leave us a post back here about the great finds you found!

I'm off to check out some more sites!!

Happy Small Business Saturday!!
