Monadnock Shopper
The Original Keene Shopper – “The Weekly with a Heart” – 55th Year of Community Service / November 19-25, 2014
Your Kitchen Store In Keene Show Your Support For Our Local Economy
For Seasoned Chefs And Novices Alike By Wearing Plaid On Friday, November 28th
Monadnock Buy Local’s fifth annual Plaid Friday
Event is set for Friday, November 28th. Individuals
are pledging to wear plaid on Plaid Friday to show
support for the local economy and their commitment
to choosing gifts from locally owned businesses this
holiday season. Last year, close to 300 community
members committed to participating in Plaid Friday.
Plaid Friday celebrates the diversity and creativity
of local and independent businesses. It’s a fun and
festive alternative to the “Black Friday” consumer
frenzy perpetuated by big box stores. It’s also a great
way for the community to show its support for
Monadnock Buy Local – a network of locally owned
businesses, organizations and individuals working
to build a stronger local economy. This event originated in Oakland, CA with the intent to bring back
the times when shopping for friends and family was
a pleasurable and leisurely activity.
Fifteen locally owned businesses will serve as
Plaid Friday Hubs, photographing customers decked
out in plaid and answering questions about this event.
This year’s Plaid Friday Hubs include: Black Squirrel Studio in Jaffrey, CASA at 34 Main in Hancock,
Cheshire Horse in Keene, Hannah Grimes Marketplace in Keene, Howard’s Leather in Spofford, Keene
Yoga Center, Life is Sweet in Keene, Mayfair Farm in
Harrisville, Monadnock Food Co-op in Keene, One
Stop Country Pet Supply in Keene, Terrapin Glassblowing Studio in Jaffrey, Toadstool Bookshops in
Keene and Peterborough, Walpole Mountain View
Winery, and Your Kitchen Store in Keene.

At Belle Femme Boutique, a new shop on Main
Street in Keene, owner Joy Anderson and her staff
truly believe in their motto: “Feel Beautiful As You
Are.” They don’t think women should have to hide
behind their clothing or settle for outdated patterns
and unflattering styles – women should wear what
looks good and feels good.
An opening welcome event will be held Sunday,
November 23rd.
“Our sizes start where many stores stop, which
we know firsthand can be extremely frustrating,”
explains Anderson. “We decided to fill the gap with
beautiful clothing from size 14W to 5X. Belle Femme
Boutique offers casual and professional styles and
has dressier options for the upcoming holidays. We
also have plenty of accessories, including wintry
