Saint Patrick's Day

I hope you all have a wonderful Saint Patrick's day. I am not familiar with the numbers of our Irish customers, I feel safe to assume we have at least a few. Have a wonderful Holiday to you! Now that we are on the subject of the Irish, what is Irish food? I have heard that Irish stew is made with lamb and not beef as we eat here in America. I also heard that stewing comes from the need to use the tougher cuts of meat and turn them into a more palatable form. Is it true that lean meat dries when stewed? So many things I do not know. This is when one runs to Wikipedia with a cup of tea for a quiet moment of reading and discovery. I do so love to learn new things.
 

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all!
Warm Regards,
Betty

It's Lovely

 Look around, it is pretty isn't it? I do enjoy this new look our conversations. I am quite satisfied and can be content here. The lace at the top of the banner suits me fine and the entire theme is simple yet elegant. I am so pleased. Now I must get working on topics. I am so thrilled to do so.

Warm Regards,
Betty Allen

I'm thrilled

 I have news. I have been told that the powers that be are searching for a new design here. This will be wonderful. I have so much to share, so much to give and can't wait to get a fresh start. I am all smiles today.
And should you have the time, do take a look at the new Vermont Apron Co website. I hear they are still uploading products and working out kinks, you may find you need to be extra patient and kind, I always allot them a bit of extra patience anyways....:)

I hope you are well and that your day is filled with good news as was mine.

Warm Regards,
Betty.

Overseeing

Greetings,
We have had an exciting adventure and I have had the important task of overseeing the seamstress. A bright yellow gown had to be hemmed to fit a model properly. It was hung high on a beam that allowed the hem to be proper height. It is quite difficult to crawl around on a floor while pinning a hem. It was an interesting process and I was delighted to bear witness.

I was not allowed to attend the affair and can only hope that all went well. I am told that next I will be assisting with a new Apron that fits like a shirt. I do hope so.

Warm Regards,
Betty

Directions

Upon this new move to a fine studio, I find I have ample opportunity to expand myself into new responsibilities. I quite often am called upon to hold fabric or model a newly made sample. I was quite surprised to find myself draped in Goth. How horrid! I was amazed at the turn of design and wondered if this geographical change had as well changed our company direction.

But peace has come, I now hold and display only a wonderful retro 1950's piece in process, that reflects housewives and their kitchen. Lovely!

My hope is for them to craft a lovely Apron that also reflects that time in our history.
Is it really too much to ask?

Warm regards,
Betty.

It's Vermont

 Dear Readers,

 I appreciate the fact that I reside in Vermont, it is a very Northern state with a zone of 3 and 4. I also appreciate that people are kind, caring and loyal. A very kind gentleman, who, I assume, was concerned for my lack of winter gear, shared this hat with me. I am grateful but would hope for a hat with some degree of fashion sense if not even a bit. 

I am grateful but would hope for a hat with some degree of fashion sense if not even a bit.

It doesnt even suit its purpose as you can plainly see it does not fit my head properly. And as you can see, I remain in a summer dress. Do we not have a proper PR department yet?

Alas, I shall wait with professional patience. It is Christmas season and I am left to assume that a lovely gown and headpiece will be forthcoming. I assume.... with confidence.... and fingers crossed.

Warm Regards,

Betty
