This Month

So far this month I have had queries for a murder mystery and rented 3 costumes:
2 saloon girls and 1 sheriff.

A 1950's bandstand for the local elementary school: 1 suit and a chiffon/ lacy dress.

A gal from CHD wants some fruits and vegetables which I will have to work on for a healthy food video the 4- H wants to create. There are easy and fun ideas on the internet. I like the sandwich board style made of felt for strawberries, the purple balloons for grapes and of course the store bought banana!

The last request, a through time for a pioneer outfit, a Native America dress and modern day
and yes I have those costumes!

The sheriff costume this time was a white tuxedo shirt with vest and badge.

Howdy sheriff
