Aunt Donna is retired now, we discussed many ideas over the years of keeping the store open. In the end, Aunt Donna thought unless someone could give the personal touch required there was no point. She does help mentor mothers still via one of our mommy councils and still makes quite a few "old fashioned" styled dresses for lucky unexpecting brats. What impresses me the most about Aunt Donna is the large network of mothers she was able to grow just by word of mouth before the days of the internet. Back in the day mothers would often share ideas over tea and many used the threat of visiting Aunt Donna to keep their brats in line. Of course, many brats get to visit Aunt Donna's store and discover the joys of ruffles and lace.
