IN THE SPIRIT...
Each year, all of our Sage Place staff draws names and does a "silly, inexpensive, buy it, or make it yourself, keep it under $10, gift exchange"; as always,I had a delightful time hunting through the local shops for goodies and reconnecting with the business owners around Bandon. I'm pleased to say I re-discovered, yet again, what an amazing array of goodies can be found in our little town!
Throughout the year, so many of our Old Town, Up Town, Mid Town, and Around Town merchants, restaurant owners and their employees have mentioned our name to their customers; we'd like to ask you to help us say "Thanks" by returning the neighborly support and stopping in to say "Hello" to all of our local business friends this Holiday Season, and all year long.
Recently, customers have let us know that they were referred to Sage Place by our friends at: Jail House Rocks, Winter River Books, Bandon RV Park, Second Street Gallery, Bandon Baking Company, Bandon Coffee Cafe, Whistling Gallery, Devon's, Tiffany's, Bandon Veterinary Clinic, McFarlin's Bar and Grill, Bandon Card and Gift, the Inner Garden, The Minute Cafe, Riverview Gems, The Chamber, Bandon Supply, Sister's Cottage, Bandon True Value, The Port of Bandon, Bandon Crossings, La Kris Inn, Bandon Inn, The Windemere, Bandon Frame and Photo, The Wheelhouse, Truffles, the Station Restaurant, Southern Coos Hospital, Say Wine and Cheese Too, Beach Loop Realty, Patina's, and the Wool Co. That's a huge supporting network for our little community AND, those are just the one's we heard about!!!
THANKS TO ALL!!! Shopping locally makes all the difference in keeping our jobs, families, schools, hospital, and other services in Bandon and making it such a charming place to live.
