Small Business Saturday 2016:  Your Curated List To Shop Small

11/26/2016

Today is the day...It's Small Business Saturday.  Did you shop small?  Are you shopping small?  We did.  Today, instead of visiting the big chain Starbucks, we visited a small coffee shop in Downtown Riverside called Coffee Court.   The Pumpkin Spice Latte was quite tasty and only cost a couple of bucks, as compared to the prices at the big chain coffee houses.  Starbucks also has a Pumpkin Spice Latte for $4.05 when we last checked.  Coffee Court also has some of the same amenities as the bigger chains.  It has two areas for seating and dining, cozy and relaxing enough to bring friends.  Or bring your  laptop and get some studying or work done.  More than just coffee, they also offer breakfast and lunch.  So you can grab a bite to eat as well.

Have you ever sewed a garment, looked at the finished product and thought..."hmmm...it just needs a little something more?"  Well, this week's Video Of The Week shows you a quick and easy way to make cute accessories that you can add to your garments to achieve that extra umph.  We love the extra pearl and feather embellishments added.   If you're sewing a vintage style, these extra embellishments give it an old fashioned appeal.  From the video, looks like all you need is trim, card stock, a hot glue gun, and your choice of embellishments.  So follow along and you'll be able to easily add embellishments to any garment.
