Greetings from your Sweet Ladies.  I am very honored to be given this time to tell all of you a little bit about myself, family, and friends.

My name is Jeanne Isaacs and my family and I have been re-enacting for fourteen exciting years. For nine of those years I walked sutler's row admiring the beautiful clothes and fancy accessories only imagining that I could own something so elegant, but with three young children in the house at that time, there was no way I could afford it.
    I enjoy people very much and I've always been one to see that people were happy. That has always been the case with everything, my family, my friends, and my church. So I often thought to myself,  "There is no reason I couldn't have a sutlery and not enjoy doing it."

The tenth year of my re-enacting I began to pray about starting a sutlery that could supply clothes and accessories affordable for all ages, pleasing to both genders, and fitting all sizes.

I asked God if it was His will and if so, to give me direction on where to get all of the supplies I needed.  God is good, within the year everything I asked for was given to me. The Amish and Mennonites began to sew for me and soon after, a local sewing factory began to sew for me as well.  With this much help, love, and support, I am able to produce large quantities, with high quality, and at an inexpensive price.  My business has been growing steadily going on four years now.

We started out selling baked goods and candy, that's how we ( my daughter, Jenilee and I) became the Sweet Ladies.  But our goal was and still is to help our customers and ourselves achieve more than we both thought possible and have fun doing it, and with the Lord's blessing we are doing just that.

Throughout the years I have read books and studied on the eras that I supply for in hopes that my customers, family, and friends' portrayal will be as authentic as possible.

One of the things that I have learned in starting my own business is,  " The only time the word SUCCESS comes before the word WORK is in the dictionary."

But in saying that, the past three years as a sutler have been very rewarding and I look forward to the fourth year.

All of our customers mean so much to us and we guarantee that, "You will come in as a customer, but leave as our friend."

In closing, I would just like to thank you all again for giving me this opportunity to show you a part of who I am.  I hope to see you this season and many seasons to come.

God Bless You,
Jeanne and Jenilee Isaacs
