Doncaster Flash Backs

When I was a kid both my Grandmother and my mother sold Doncaster clothes.  In fact, my grandmother was the East Tennessee Regional manager for 35 years and when she retired at the age of 80 someone else had the opportunity to be the oldest employee, a title she had held for at least ten years.

I was about ten or eleven when my mother started selling.  Four times a year I would come home from school and there would be half naked women trying on clothes in our playroom.  I always loved playing store with my sister when the clothes were at our house.

Well some things never change.  My good friend Hannah and her partner Suzanne are selling Doncaster now and they brought the clothes to my house this evening so that all out Durham friends could come and shop here.  They have some really gorgeous stuff that I am coveting.

Hannah made a great deal with me, if I would have the show one day, 10% of anything she sold here would be donated to the “Less Dana, More Good” campaign.   Don’t tell her I would have done it for free.

So I have cooked a bunch of yummy things for all you hungry shoppers who want to stop by anytime tomorrow.  Frittata, zucchini bread and pineapple in the morning.  Smoked salmon pizza, pimento cheese, corn and tomato salad and gazpacho in the afternoon.  I’m sure I’ll need to bake something after lunch.

No appointment necessary.  Breakfast will be served at 8:00 AM.  The best news is that I have plenty of private places you can try clothes on just in case you don’t want to run around my house half naked.
