Rose Cottage Ltd

I know a lot of people view shopping as a social experience. I do not.

Too many people, either too many products or not enough, high prices, noise, lines, etc., etc.

I’ve managed to move most of my shopping (and sometimes even shipping) completely online over the past few years. It might take a bit more planning, but I find it actually easier to sit here in my quiet house with a cup of coffee, do gift research, and order – without leaving my office.

Online retailers have their Free Shipping Day which has been announced for 2014 as December 18th. So far, 547 retailers have signed up. That’s a pretty big “store” to shop – particularly since by December 18th, time will be of the essence.

I’m doing my part by directing you to the Rose Cottage Ltd page on Fine Art America. Custom-designed prints, matting, and frames are available and you can choose and order 24/7, 365 days a year!!

Many stores are staying closed this Thanksgiving which I believe is a GREAT idea. Employees need time to spend with their families too – and many of them will still have their Thanksgiving impacted by stores opening earlier and earlier on the day after. I’m trying to do my part to start a new trend that says a family spending a relaxing Thanksgiving together is more important than maybe saving 15% on a new TV or a new pair of shoes…
