Luckily, they didn't say no to taking pictures. Sometimes they do. I try to explain that I pore over the pictures to help me decide what to buy, which is absolutely true! And I only take pictures of scarves tied to show that I'm not a counterfeiter trying to rip off designs. Sometimes they don't care and still say no photos. Don't they know these photos will only help spur sales??? (Unless I post a photo of me in yellow or brown, that is.)Oh! What a wild ride! Can't wait to see what excitement awaits you when you have some time to spend playing in silk!
