FYI: Our Son’s Prie Dieu (Prayer Kneeler) Prices Will Increase March 1st, 2011

By Colleen Hammond, in Catholic Church, Prayers

UPDATE: It looks like Ian fixed his website!

Be advised that prices increase March 1st, 2011 A.D.

+++

Compare our son’s two high quality Prie Dieus/Prayer Kneelers (below) to other places that charge well over $500–and theirs do not fold up!

Our son’s custom built, high quality, hand-made (in Texas!), folding Prie Dieus/Prayer Kneelers are priced perfectly for any gift–but that price will increase March 1st, 2011!!!

Meticulously hand-crafted in the USA, these Prie Dieus … Read the rest

By Colleen Hammond, in Dressing with Dignity, Fashion, Feminism, Modesty | 6 Responses 6 Comments

From The Catholic Young Woman. I’d say the words that come to mind are “charming, gracious, elegant, kind, and dignified.” Ever wonder what words come to people’s mind when they see how you dress and how you act? Reminds me of an episode of “What Not to Wear”!

I’ve always loved to dress beautifully, and I love it when other girls dress beautifully. I remember that every time I would visit my older brother at his college I would sit out on the dorm balcony for a few minutes every day and watch the girls flutter by in their skirts. … Read the rest
