It Is Finished!

I offer thanks to all 97 of you who rented costumes this Halloween season. And I give thanks to those of you who checked us out and left empty handed. I hope we can help you find a fun and satisfactory costume for Halloween next year if you'll give us the chance.

Tonight I closed the shop for the season. I have new duties at work that require more of my time and attention and simply can't keep up with off-season appointments any longer. But the sewing bug always bites me in the summer time, and I will faithfully construct some more creative costumes with some of my vacation time in 2009.

Several of you reported costume contest wins. Congratulations! My crew that dressed up and went out Halloween night didn't win anything this year - but in our bar hopping we missed all the contests, too.

I offer special thanks to my entire amazing staff; Katie, Linda, Kathy, Beth, Phyllis, Janet, Peg, Barb, Mary and Danika. Without these dedicated, generous, and creative women I wouldn't even be able to open for Halloween.

Ladies, you have my deepest gratitude. One month to Galena and counting!
