Fairhaven Coin Program

This is so exciting!!! Fairhaven has become one of the few areas to be a part of the Hometown Coin programs. This program was started in Anacortes and it is a fun way to help support locally owned businesses. In Fairhaven there are 20 businesses participating and here they are -

• 12th Street Shoes
• 13 Nails & Spa
• 4 Starrs BTQ
• A Lot of Flowers
• Bay to Baker Trading Company
• Bellingham Tennis Club
• Blue Horizon
• CreativiTea
• Fairhaven Fish & Chips
• Fairhaven Toy Garden
• Katie's Cupcakes
• Pacific Chef
• Paper Dreams
• Reference Media
• Southside Trends
• The Barbershop
• Three French Hens
• Village Books
• Wild Blueberries
• Whimsey

So in a nutshell how this works - you go to any of these businesses and spend a certain amount (amounts vary by store) then you get to have one of these cool coins. The coin can then be redeemed in any of the businesses for fun discounts. These discounts will change all the time so it will be fun to find out what it is. Right now, we are offering an additional 10% off any of the boots that are already on sale. Since most of the boots are 30-40% off now, not a bad little additional savings.

The Bellingham Herald just ran an article on it today - check it out -

Fourth Day of Shoe Cheer

We had such an entertaining day yesterday, Baby K had to come to work with me because most of my staff was stuck due to the snow. She did lots of rearranging at the store. Shoes on the floor, business cards everywhere, she even hid her binky in a customer's shoe. Good Times!

Today should be entertaining, Baby K is at the store with me because of the snow. Kelli & Krista couldn't get out of their neighborhood this morning. We will see how it goes today. So Baby K is going to run things today. She is just a little slow getting shoes, so please be patient. : )

Guess this means I have to get out my fun, fuzzy purple boots! I usually only wear them to the Husky games, but with this snow, it is time to bring out the big guns! Pop on in and grab a cup of Joe or cocoa - it will be nice and warm inside!

First Day of Shoe Cheer!

Free Workout DVD with an Earth Shoe purchase.

Earth had this video specially made for them. It shows you exercises that you can do in the workplace. There are exercises for guys and gals. Earth says that you can burn more calories with their shoes because they have an incline in them. Worth a try - who doesn't want to burn a few more calories during the day, especially during the holidays : )
