Even this little enterprise was putting effort into window displays and a red organza drape was folded neatly on a little table giving off some sizzle to passers-by.
Valentine's Day was just around the corner so... when Simmy spotted this pink ceramic vase, she thought, 'I should put a little pink sizzle into my house for the next week.
She dropped the 50 cents for the flower pot like 'she was made of money.' Next, she spotted a pink slipcover, homemade... and not sewn very well but the fabric was a really nice piece of woven cotton with a beautiful floral imprint... ooh, she purchased it too, even though it was $1.00.
When your business is slow and you haven't had any customers for a bit... it's amazing how precious a few dollars is.
As she splurged on a $1.00 scarf, the woman at the cash register said, "Ooh, a mink scarf!"
Simmy smiled and said, "Just tie it back on... it will be fine! Oh, and keep the extra 10 cents."
The older Dutch lady tried to give Simmy the dime but Simmy insisted on donating it to the charity work that the store collected money for. It was a bit of a awkward moment as the woman didn't really want to take it.
Simmy won out and headed home to wash her scarf and cushion cover. The scarf came out of the laundry bag with half of the mink no longer attached but, patiently, Simmy tied it back on.
As she was just finishing this task the cat came to examine the new scarf and immediately he found a stray piece and started 'cleaning' it with rough tongued energy.
Sam laughed and said, "You'd better not leave that scarf lying around because he'll claim it."
"Well, if it falls apart after one wearing, I'll gift it to him."
