I finally got the courage to go the 35 miles to Roberta's Lovely Ladies Boutique in Alton IL to buy…read morea double mastectomy bra and inserts. She was extremely rude, would not permit me to look around blocking me physically, and literally bullied me into leaving. She said she had decided to make appointments, and I did not have one, but nowhere on her website is that stated. Another woman and 2 friends were there, and I assumed I would wait until they were done, but she took me aside to see my insurance and empathically told me she could not take my insurance. I was stunned at her rudeness and the nasty things she was whispering to me all the while with a "smile" on her face (like "how dare you come into my business asking questions") smiling all the time so the other customers could not hear her. I was stunned silent listening to her abuse. I intended to pay for what she offered without insurance. She would not even allow me to look at the prosthetic devices. Who runs a business like that that requires a soft touch for women coming into seek help when a little extra softness is hoped for during a terrible time in our lives? I think it may be time for her to retire and let someone with a heart take over. Horrible experience and was totally unnecessary.

We saw a big celebration going on in the nearby park and public library, and it turns out it was…read moreZienapalooza, a festival organized by Ziena and put on with many other local vendors. This led us to the nearby Ziena Boutique storefront. We went inside and explored what turned out to be an upscale women's clothing store that seems to specialize in trendy smart-casual styles. Ziena has jeans, blouses, dusters, necklaces, permanent jewelry, sparkly custom patches that can be placed on clothing or cosmetic bags, and more. I expected the prices to be high, but I was pleasantly surprised that they were reasonable. I bought a duster-style button-down shirt that looks great over short jeans and a tank, and it was only $45. I have already told several friends that they need to stop by this place. I'll be back!

Now that I live in Godfrey, I am a regular shopper. I am such a regular that the entire staff knows my name. I am a huge fan of their, Mud Pie and Nora Fleming. I have so many pieces, at a recent party several guest would ask where I got many of my serving pieces. Each time they asked, I would respond, "White Birch". I pretty sure they some new customers after my party. Their selection of witty cocktail napkins, are always a party favorite, too. In their home decor, I've snagged a couple of their toss pillows and some art work for the dining room. The selection of men's fashion is limited, but I've bought a couple shirts and novelty sock. White Birch is a fantastic boutique in a vintage house in Alton. If you haven't been, I suggest you go and check them out. You'll be impressed. There's a lot of ladies fashions, jewelry, items for baby, home decor and upscale gifts. Shopping at WB you will be supporting a woman owned small business.
