So in turn, I thought it was only appropriate that I send some very special and unique cards. Hallmark was not an option. I needed the best from a local source, so I headed over to, The Firecracker Press. The variety of note with STL themes were nice. However, I found two cards that were designed as a Thank-you card and they served my purpose very well. I did see other cards that caught my eye and I will return for another occasion. Then to my surprise, when I got home and reached into my bag. TFP had given me a little thank-you postcard. It entitled me to 10% off on my next web purchase. I'm more of a brick and mortar shopper, but to save 10%, I can shop the web. Will I return? - Yes, here and the web. When: November 17, 2017 Why: Thank-you Cards

So many of our privately owned bookstores are struggling right now, so we all need to reach out and give them as much support as we possibly can. EyeSeeMe, fortunately has a special niche in the market. It has an extensive inventory of books written for and supporting the children of our African American community. Through their success, they now provide and offer books for high school student and adults as well. Today, I attended a virtual book reading co-sponsored by EyeSeeMe and was totally inspired. Before attending the event I shopped the store and picked up a couple of the books being read. Now that the event is over, I cannot wait to give them to a co-workers son. In fact, in the future, I will be doing a lot of gift shopping here for those hard to buy for friends on my list. It will be easy to find something for them here and it will be inspiring. I cannot encourage you enough, please shop local and please support black owned businesses, too. It makes our community stronger. When: February 20, 2021 Why: Virtual Book Reading Event

We were looking for some Kingsman comics but only found the one with the cast from the movie on it. We bought a comic and some cases for displaying. We'll probably visit every now and then just because it's so far from us.
