Today is "M" Day on ABC Wednesday and for our A-Z Alphabet Series 2016, we again feature Mack and Mack. They are a local business owned and operated by local people, collaborating to serve the Greensboro community as much as possible. In the above window at Mack and Mack, they are featuring scarves made by Artist Hollis Gabriel and Fabric Printer Anne Schroth and Buddhist Temple Ladies who hem the scarves. The clothing is handmade at Mack and Mack's shop. Local, collaborative, small business is so popular in the 21st century and a great way to remain connected to the community.
Robin Mack Davis founded Mack and Mack in 1995. She loves to help customers put together just the right outfit for any given event. If you don't see what you want, with enough lead time, Robin could probably make it for you. Currently, they are having a great sale. Designer clothing, from fabric designed and printed by local artists, is more affordable than you think! Below, see a photo from Robin when we interviewed her and the "M" from the shop window for the alphabet series!
One does not see these kinds of shops around much anymore. Very nice. BTW, I didn't post today's post to gauge the political sentiments of my readers. I already know most of them are wise as owls! :)

What a MARVELLOUS idea, so original and inventive.
You sure live in a MUNIFICENT place. I love the colour and
textures in the shop window, truly creative.
Best wishes,
Di.

I think it's cool how the clothing and art match.
Visiting from ABC Challenge.

I love supporting local businesses, rather than the chains
