I can’t believe that I have been blessed once again from a wonderful lady who came into my store.
Patricia was from out of town, and she really wanted a costume from 1863. She and her husband are going on a road trip to advertise the year Mercedes-Benz started out. She wanted a costume made, but time was running out.
Patricia found Hallowville and dropped by. We went through what I had in the store and found two dresses that could work.
The only problem was they were way to big. So, I always do free alterations if you buy something in the store, so I got to work on the hemming the following day. I also, sent it in for dry cleaning and put it under my name to save her some money.
She got her dresses and was happy with them, and on her way she went.
Well, after wearing one dress at an event, she had a few issues with some of it. Last Sunday she called and told me she was going to meet me at the shop. It was a good thing the store was so quite on Sunday, as I spent the whole day sewing up her dress and fixing the jackets. Patricia even went to the fabric store for me as I couldn’t.
I stayed late until 7:30 so she would have the dresses for the next day as she was leaving town again.
Just before she left , she handed me an envelope, and told me inside was a tip. I said no, that I didn’t need it. Inside was $200.00. I couldn’t believe it! I tried to return it to her, but it was impossible, she wouldn’t take it back.
She told me that she was so happy that I was able to do the work so fast, and put my other things on hold for her. That she loved that I went out of my way to help her, and she thought that I was such a sweet person.
Well it sure brought tears to my eyes and Patricia too, when I gave her a thank you hug. I wasn’t expecting such a wonderful gift, but I feel proud that I could do my best for a customer.
Thanks so much Patricia, you made me thankful that there are still great people like you in this world. I hope you enjoy your holiday.
