If Sandy Springs wants to maintain a vibrant retail community, a consumer has to support that." Kelly Wolff, owner of the Hunt er Collective jewelry store in Buck- head on East Andrews, opened her business two months ago. She'll con tend with having fewer hol iday shopping days and be ing the new store on the block. "I'm figuring it out as I go along," Wolff said. "The West Village here in Buckhead is getting together to do the Small Shop Saturday on Nov. 30. There'll be carolers and hot cider sta tions throughout the West Village. From an event planning standpoint, we're going to offer 10 percent off for that weekend." In Dunwoody, Michael Beattie counts on holiday sales at his pho to-finishing business, Dunwoody Photo. Most photographers have switched to digital cameras, he said, and the film processing business has just about vanished. "When I started [in the business] in 1997, we did 300- 350 rolls of film a day. Now I do 300 rolls of film a month," he said. "I've been waiting for the last two months of the year to see where we're at. We're kind of break-even the oth er months." He's hopeful that the seasonal push that comes when peo ple turn their family photos into hol iday albums, greeting cards and cal endars will make the difference in Dunwoody Photo's first year.
