Good Morning to all:

I want to show everyone these photos I received this week from my good customer Judy Bryant, these are her Grandchildren in their beautiful smocked outfits all ready for Christmas. I would love to receive your photos of the items you have smocked and I will share them on the web site.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, the Condrey House was filled with the sounds of our 3 Grandchildren laughing and having loads of fun. We are so Blessed and have so much to be Thankful for.

I will be out of the shoppe starting today and returning Dec. 9th. Nana and Granddaddy are taking Ashlyn age 7 and Elise age 5 to Disney World. We have been looking forward to this trip for a long time and now it is time to leave. I hope to return all refreshed and ready to start on Easter orders. I am not sure that this trip will be a rest of any kind but it will be great to spend time seeing Disney through the eyes of my precious Granddaughters. They grow up so fast and the day will come when spending time with Grandparents will not be what they want to do. So fun for now and I hope to post some photos when I return.

This Swing Top & Pants was made for a customer but I wanted all to see how creative customers are with their orders. It first I could not vision using these colors together but as the outfit was coming together I saw the fun in using Sage corduroy piping on Candy Pink Corduroy collars and cuffs. The Top is made out of White Pique with the pants, collar and cuffs in Candy Pink Corduroy. I think this suit turned out really cute, hope the customer feels the same way when she receives the order, I am sure she has the perfect design waiting to be smocked.

Hope you all have a Great Monday this last week in October.

Good Morning, Whats this I see in the sky???? Could it be the sun? After rain for so long it sure is a blessing to see some sunshine. This beautiful day will make us all want to get busy with our sewing projects. I wanted you all to see this new Ellen McCarn smocking plate called Allison Leigh, this design is great for all the baby bishops and daygowns, with just the right amount of pleating rows. Let me know if you need any of Ellens designs, I have them in stock.

Have a Great Monday!

Good Morning,

I am so excited about a new product we now have in stock. Have you had stains like baby formula that is now on your favorite smocked garment or those yellow age stains on antique linens and yellowing on a Heirloom Gown? We now have Sodium Perborate in 8 oz. containers that sell for $8.00. Sodium Perborate is a white, odorless, water soluble chemical whitening agent. You can soak your items in a bath of Sodium Perborate and these stains will disappear. I soaked my Christening Gown used in 1951 in a bath of this whitening agent and both of my Granddaughters wore the gown and it was as white as the day it was purchased. If you would like to order a 8oz. container just call Susies Ready To Smock.

Good Morning,
I wanted to show this Swing Top & Pants made with white broadcloth for the top and Turquoise Corduroy for the pants and piping. Simple but so many possibilities.
The saga of the Postal Service is over, after 9 days and a trip to New Hampshire the box was delivered to the Alabama address on Thursday. If the box could only talk and tell me what happened.
I hope you all have a great first weekend of October and good luck to all teams you may be cheering for this weekend (Auburn for me).

Good Morning and welcome October! I love these cool mornings we are having this week it really feels like October. I wanted you to see another of Ellen McCarns new designs.

This plate is another of the must have for your collection of smocking designs.
