FASHION & FRIENDS FRIDAY

My Summer Clearance Sale was quite successful, especially considering retail sales are in a real downturn at this time. But the success of the sale shows the value of good and loyal customers, like YOU ~ and proves that we kittehs are wise shoppers.

I am sorry some of you did not find just what you were looking for. Most of my inventory is one-of-a-kind, so the sales were "first come, first served". In some cases though, Maggy (an accomplished sales assistant) was able to guide the buyer to a different purchase. And some of you were very enterprising, finding choices in the back stock room that we hadn't yet put out on display (the curious cats among you).

Several of you found it necessary to use the litter room while here at my store, and I thank you each for leaving it in pristine condition. (cats are so clean) A few of you did take more than your fair share of give-away treats from the Temptations jar by the cash register, but I am sworn to secrecy and will not divulge names. (of fat cats)

A few of you kindly allowed us to take a quick "model shot" of you in your new hat... some of you snuck out the door before we could do so! And way at the bottom here, are photos of some of our former customers showing off their favorite toppers, all purchased at Zoey's Millinery Mercatile. So remember friends, when you want to be a "Top Cat"... shop at Zoey's.

DIAMOND stopped by early and not only found a straw hat, but a scarf to go with! CHEYENNE MILLIE found just the right summer chapeau! SHADOW needed a rain hat since it's been raining cats-n-dogs up that way, and found yellow rubber boots to match! CHEY wanted something in pink, but Maggy encouraged her to choose a blue floral to complement her lovely eyes! CORY wanted "my daisy hat" (not for sale) and I said "no", so she settled on pink straw with daisy embellishments. GINGER JASPER also expressed interest in my straw hat (I should have bought more inventory on that one) but we felt a green top hat was ideal for his eyes and his furs! THUNDER came by, he's been so busy caring for his brother Phantom, and he choose the proper hat for his caregiving duties! And KHYRA, well, of course Khyra would order a personalized cap, I'm glad we were able to get that one together! BABY PATCHES found the purrfect hat to complement her furs (albeit a slightly used one, worn in earlier days by both Chey and Maggy) and looks quite wonderful in this choice. So kittehs one & all, thanks for shopping with us.
