Men still respect the presence of a woman

I found this out once again this morning at work...

You know those airfilled balloon-like toys for children to sit on that make those unpleasant noises? We must have had one of those back in the little room where all the general merchandise is stocked - toys, cleaning supplies, pet food, batteries, and etc. As I was going back to stocking in this little area, I saw a grown man playing around with one and laughing. Another customer (I'm not sure if they were shopping together or what) said with command and sterness of voice, "Hey, quit doing that. There are ladies present in here" or something along that line. I should have said "thankyou" to the man who asked the other guy to stop, but I was once again amazed, and yet felt to honored to have been respected like that.

Had I have looked more like a man or wore man's apparel, I have to wonder if that would have been said? I had to silently thank the Lord for making me a woman and for giving me the joy and the delight in dressing in a feminine, modest way that would be a testimony to others!

Some great articles on modesty and femininity!

We are still working on our website and catalog. It has taken us long than expected. Thanks so much for your patience! Our e-mail was down for a a couple weeks (not sure why!) and so if you e-mailed us within the last month and never received a reply, we apologize for that! It seems to be working fine now.

For those who do their own sewing...

I just thought that I'd let you know of some sales going on within the next few days.

http://www.sensibility.com is putting all their patterns that are designed with a historical flare, on sale for 10% off the original price, starting tomorrow. I've never used their patterns (I actually got the Romantic Blouse pattern for Christmas. Click here to see it: http://www.sensibility.com/pattern/romantic.htm) but have heard wonderful things about them so I can hardly wait to make something out of it!

And if you like tropical breeze fabrics, http://worksoftheheart.com, has put all of the tropical breeze fabrics on sale for $2.99 a yard until Dec. 31st. This fabric is the "wash and wear" type without the hassle of ironing and the fabric is of good quality. We have had apparel made out of TB fabric that has last for years. We love it and highly recommend it!

A ten day sale you do not want to miss!

Starting for Dec 21st through Dec 31st, we are putting all of our ready-made apparel on sale for 50% off! I think we can safely guarantee that you will not find quality modest apparel for so cheap right now!
