    It's True what they say about Coldwater Creek

    I went over to the local Coldwater Creek outlet at lunch today...I was actually going somewhere else, but after all the talk and laughter I thought I'd go in.

    I've never had so much female attention in one place in my life! I must have had a dozen questions about the kilt, and subtle flirtation, as well. Women do NOT make eyes at me, it simply does NOT happen. But it did, two hours ago. Crikey. It was fun...cheered me right up, got lme laughing hard and now I'm back to work.

    A few weekends ago I dropped Mrs. Alan H off at the supermarket and hit the hardware store. She said that after she finished in the super-mercado, she was going to drop the groceries off in the car and then go to this little custom boutique that was in the next block over. I says, "OK, I'll come find you". Well there were two little custom boutiques, and the one she was aiming for was closed...but I didn't know that, of course. So I went into the other one.

    Now, this place is seriously interesting, though of course it's a womens clothing store. They had more gew-gaws and fabrics and crinkled this and vintage-fabric that, cockades for hats and boxes of buttons and on and ON. I got to talking to the ladies in the place while I waited for my spouse to show up and we got onto the subject of kilts. They were all agog that I had made my own and practically demanded that I wear it to the store the second it was done. So Friday night, I think on the way to Beer Night, I'm gonna stop off and let the girls give it the once-over.

    Should be fun, I'll give you all a report.

    Any time I need a good review, all I have to do is go shopping for a gift for my DW at Coldwater Creek. She likes their clothing and the women there practically fall all over each other to help.

    I couldn't agree more: the shop near our house is where Tracy does most of her shopping, and I've met her there (kilted) before heading out to dinner. Although they always treat me well, they never forget that Tracy is their customer-they act like her personal shoppers.

    Bryan...then we go to Ted's for Bison...

    My wife just remarked "They have an outlet in Kittery. And they have nice stuff, too."

    Being one who likes to be swooned over by the ladies *evil grin* I shall have to oblige the wife with a trip to the Coldwater Creek in Kittery, Maine! lol
