ShopEasy with Barb

Hi, everyone 🙂 I’ve had several inquiries as to whether I am back to shopping yet or not. Unfortunately, the answer is no. If you didn’t read my earlier post, I sustained multiple fractures of my calcaneus (heel bone). You wouldn’t think such a relatively small part of your anatomy could cause so much trouble. I’ve had surgery (see photo) and I’m finally out of a boot (four months later), but full healing will take about a year and a half. I’m not sure yet at which point I’ll be able to return to shopping - I have to be able to manage steps, uneven terrain, and long hours on my feet.

I’ll try to keep you updated as best I can or, at least, when there’s news to be had. Stay safe and stay well!

Here's a special everyone can appreciate: I've been asked to help my friend, Scott Yusavage, as he campaigns for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Man or Woman of the Year. We hope to raise $10,000 (or more!!) for valuable blood cancer research and treatments. I have very personal reasons to support LLS and its efforts to eradicate cancer, and I'm honored Scott asked me to be part of his team.

To help reach our fundraising goal, I am offering all of my customers, new and old, a complimentary shop - i.e. no service fee - for every contribution of $35 or more. PLUS, if you purchase a raffle ticket for Scott's raffle by 8pm on Thursday, April 15, I'll add another complimentary shop. The raffle prizes include a 5-course dinner for 8 people with wine pairings, a Lenovo laptop computer, Starbucks and Lowes gift cards, a cash prize of $500, a top-shelf bourbon basket, a top-shelf vodka basket, and more. See the links, below, to donate and/or purchase tickets! Thank you, and good luck!

Hi, all! If you're planning your Christmas grocery list, keep in mind time slots are filling quickly. I'll try to accommodate everyone, but even I have limits :). Remember, if you need a last-minute gift, I'm not limited to groceries - wine stores, Macy's, Target, or whatever store you want for whatever you need!

A little about Dumpling:

Dumpling Is The New Ethical Alternative To Grocery Delivery App Instacart Dumpling executives say their model is far more equitable than rival Instacart—empowering shoppers to have more control over their own business.
