Something really similar to this happened to me too a while ago, except the “business man” in question kept asking me rhetorical questions such as “if you are in business to make money, than why not sell widgets/doodads/whachamacalits instead of Canadian-made if that is what is going to make the most money?” He didn’t understand that I was not in business purely to make money (or else we’d have opened a Tim Horton’s franchise or something), but rather to make a living while contributing to something I strongly believe in. There was no way he was going to see my side of it though, and he was quite condescending actually, as though he needed to teach this poor little girl the rules of business…

Thanks for expressing how I have felt for so long and never had the words to say it out loud.
I run into clients and designers all the time who appreciate what we are doing. You keep on trucking. At least we can look in their eyes and feel no burdens about where it was made and by who…
keep it up.

It’s interesting that someone could be so negative about the idea of selling Canadian made products. I think there are a lot of people out there who are willing to buy Canadian and handmade, which is why your store is such a fantastic idea. I know I was excited to hear it was around as I’ve been trying to buy local (or at least Canadian) for a few years now. Sometimes it’s not easy to do, but it’s getting easier (thanks to Love, Me!) and worth it when you do find Canadian made goods.

Chara, this is a nice note. Keep doing what you’re doing! I love stepping into your shop. Every time I’m there you’ve always got the greatest products, and they’re always changing, always unique!

I just want to congradulate the owner of Love, Me: you opened a wonderful shop that I feel brings a lot of originality and culture to birmingham street. It truely is a beatiful boutique and your compassion for it shows.

Those bamboo pants are fantastic!

I didn’t actually read any Margaret Laurence in high school, but my older cousins did and when visited them during the summer after grade nine, I read their school copies of The Stone Angel, To Kill A Mockingbird, and A Seperate Peace. The Stone Angel stuck with me though and I became a huge Margaret Laurence fan. I went on to read the rest of her Manawaka books while I was in high school (none of them were actually for school).
