Well, we are super excited to get our hands on our very own e-cards. And when we do get them there are at least 7 things we want to do.

1. Buy a Jaqueline Kangley handbag from Alva Gallery.

2. Send flowers to our Mom’s to make up for the guilty pleasures at Alva. Peonies, maybe? We looooove Elements’ cut flowers.

3. Start our holiday shopping at Mix.

4. Close up our shop and shop for ourselves at Peonies, our favorite pick for couture consignment (lol). Hey, 10% off at a consignment shop makes a sweet deal even sweeter!

5. After that, we’ll walk across the street and have a little wine at Gabrielle’s , after which we will zoom over to Liv’s Oyster Bar for a free oyster sampler before we eat dinner.

6. And then, because we are guilty about all that we’ve eaten (ugh), we will sign up for the CT Shoreline Boot Camp.

7. And then, because we have fallen into utter chaos, we will immediately give a shout out Organizing for Life to do what they do best.

And, and, and—we will save a ton of money! Have you heard about the e card? It’s a discount card to some of the best shops, restaurants and services on the CT Shoreline. The mix of participating stores includes places e-list editor Erica Tannen has shopped, eaten or checked out personally. The cost of the card is $25 per year (10% of which will be donated to local non-profit organizations).

We figure we’ll make up the fee in a second with our handbag purchase.

Hey, shop local. It’s a win for everyone.
