Light Bulb Moment

Good morning all,
In an effort to restore the building and help save electricity, my good friend and handy man opened up the glass block windows in the front of store. What a difference! It has indeed been like turning on a light bulb.
Incidentally, did you know it took Thomas Edison 1000 prototypes before he got the light bulb right!
We keep making improvements and continue to strive to satisfy every customer we have the pleasure of serving.
Thanks to all the men and women who have given up their lives to make the dreams and  lives of all of us a reality. THANK YOU!
Happy, happy Memorial Day and week!

Don't Let This Happen to You!

Good morning all,
The poor soul that tried to hem these pants was clearly not given the gift of hemming, but thankfully we were! We use traditional methods as well as our specialty, the fashion hem, where we take off the original hem, shorten and reattach. (I should have a picture of that but they turn out so beautiful, you'd never know they were hemmed!)  Happy, happy week!

Your Simply Glowing

Good morning all,
I've been introduced to a great product recently Illuminator Tape™. When exposed to light for about an hour it stays illuminated for approximately 10-20. It is sold to companies for safety reasons, steps, doorways, parking structures, etc. It naturally got me thinking. I always walk in the dark and I know sometimes (most times) cars do not see you. If this tape alerts people about a possible hazard, it could also alert people about people. Walking, running, biking, etc. Then it got me thinking about dogs and how they could benefit as well. I see joggers using crossing guard vests and the like. Being the fashionista I am, the vest just doesn't cut it, so I thought some more. My creative day being Saturday, I constructed a couple items using this tape. Pictured is my favorite. The light colored squares are the illuminator tape and the colored ones reflective tape. So you not only glow, you reflect! I've got a number of other items, dog collars and leases, people collar bracelets and anklets and fashion belts. We can also apply them to your jacket, hat or shoes. I'm pumped! Happy, happy week!
