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

Daisies and an Apron

 Well, here I am.poised within the retail window that overlooks the downtown. People appear to be quite friendly but I must say that my nervousness leaves my cheerfulness impaired. My hope is that my worrisome mood will pass as I get acquainted with my new surroundings.

 

In the meantime, I stand as graceful as I can muster while appearing comfortable and content.Which I must say is not entirely true.

I am happy to have these photographs to share with you, my dear readers. I do hope this does not turn into too much of an adventure. I am not typically the adventurous type.

  I hope all of you are doing well.

Warm Regards,

Betty

Unexpected turns

Dear Readers,
As in every good and descent novel, there are unexpected twists and turns that help us to engage with the writer's plot. Not so dramatically, I, too, have encountered a plot twist. I have been asked to leave the studio where I have resided since being unboxed. I am asked to join the other workers at the retail store and have surprisingly found that I shall be window mannequin for quite a number of weeks. I must admit I do find myself a twitter with anxiety at this new prospect. I am quite unprepared but shall rise to this occasion as best I can, while gently smiling of course.


How shall I respond to customers? What will be expected of me? Time will be our revealer. I shall put on my bravest face, stand tall, smile courteously and open my heart to a new adventure. I am a bit relieved to hear of my clothing. I shall be dressed in daisies in yellow gingham with a proper shawl, happily my dress will be appropriate for Spring. Goodness, I don't think they mentioned gloves and lipstick....and pearls, well, they wouldn't forget those, would they? It is an outing, isn't it?

Warm regards,
Betty
