We have a small sewing machine/vacuum repair shop in town. I have often taken my sewing machine in for service and cleaning. One day when I was there I noticed a sign said "scissors sharpened." I have a beautiful pair of scissors my DH bought me years ago so I took them in for sharpening. When I took them in the owner's mother was there and didn't know how much the sharpening would cost but I left them anyway. When I went back to get them the next day the bill was $1.00. I couldn't believe it. I love small, local businesses when the people are honest and there to serve their customers without charging a fortune. Unfortunately, this store is for sale and will probably go by the wayside like so many small businesses. ( I know I sound really old fashioned but I am not that old).
