Dear Monkee’s Girls,
I was perusing the Tennessean this morning over my Star Bagel breakfast and was struck by the Shopping Diva, Cathi Aycock’s editorial. Apparently, a reader had taken offense to her recent column debating whether to install a chandelier over a ceiling fan in her home and she so eloquently expressed a point that I have made many times over these past few months.
(Sorry for oversized photo! But, I had to make it big enough for you to read! Not the best aesthetically, but practicality prevailed here!)
Yes, these have been a dismal few months at times. An exhausting recession, the fateful flooding, a disastrous oil spill, Lindsay Lohan in jail… It’s enough to make a girl want to hide under the covers with a pint of Chunky Monkey! And while things like shoes and purses and jewelry seem like a frivolity they are a necessity! Your local purchases keep every single one of us employed and circulating dollars through our local economy. And I have to say sweet friends, we are always honored when you choose to spend your hard earned pennies with us!
xo,
Elizabeth
