Today as I was organzing stuff for our store front in Elora On, an elderly lady and her friends walk past the window and saw me dressing a dumby for the store. The women asks me "do you make kilts here?" I said yes she turns and says "no you don't you make crap(not the actual word but I'm polite) can't you tell by my accent I'm scottish I was a kilt maker when I was younger and let me tell you those aren't the garb of my people".
So I explained to her that what I make is a kilt that is a affordable custom kilt,explained fabric, and yardage etc. she told me flat out that I was a disgrace to kiltmaking and a disgrace to all things scottish.
At this point I'm on fire I really don't feel I'm a disgrace to anything. So I asked her why is it that she feels this way, and why come into someones place of business and tear a whole in them. I said to her that what I'm do is simply keeping a form of dress alive that has history and culture if anything she should be a little happy that someone in the area is doing this. She really got on my nerves she would pick up one of my kilts and pointed out all their flaws , I smiled and thank her for all the constuctive critisim and asked why doesn't see make them any more she replies I have lost most of my sight and my hands won't hold a pin as well as they used to.
Just venting much better now.
