I read an article about a stampede at a Wal-Mart in Long Island which resulted in a man losing his life this morning. I have to wonder, how many other stores did that happen at this Black Friday? So terribly sad that any kind of sale would create such chaos.
I have done the Black Friday thing in the past, but never have seen stampedes. Mostly I saw lots of coffee-driven shoppers who had lists and were shopping with purpose. This year I stayed home to nurse my cold, and promote my shop, www.manderlyrose.etsy.com
If you have no desire to be out and about this holiday weekend, think about the handmade movement and try shopping on Etsy! You'll find tons of things! Try using "Pounce" to jump around and see what shops Etsy sends you to. Try searching by types of items you're looking for. Use the Etsy Homepage as a guide. Save gas, stay out of the crowds, and shop in comfort.
Many of the blogs I follow are Etsy sellers. Check them out too, their blogs are listed to the right.

I stayed in today, didn't feel up to braving the stores and the crowds.
I did go out Wednesday night..drove about 30 minutes to an outlet mall to get a pair of shoes only to discover all the stores shut down at 6:00. I had no idea stores would shut down early on the day before Thanksgiving! Guess I should have checked before I left the house.
Thanks for the chance to win one of your pretty key chains, too. I've added you as an etsy favorite.
I love the "pounce" suggestion. I'd never heard of it before. I love Etsy!
Oh how I dislike crowds and all the crazy people on regular days...let along Black Friday. Yeah for internet shopping handmade! - CT
