The flyers were up everywhere, just as Lydia had said they would be. They advertised a sale at A Stitch in Time, with winter clothing 25% off. Considering the state of Kacey's winter wardrobe (non-existent), she?d decided it was worth stopping in, at least. With her jacket ruined, she would have to find a replacement or make do without ? and doing without meant picking up a few sweaters without holes worn through.

Kacey hated shopping. Hated trying on clothes, hated looking at herself in a mirror ? especially that. And between that loathing and the thin state of her wallet, she didn?t expect to be in the store long. In and out, just long enough to pick up the cheapest sweaters that would fit and maybe a scarf and gloves if they were to be had.

So she entered the store warily, hands in her pockets to keep them warm, and paused just inside the door, looking for the racks or shelves with sweaters.

Upstairs, Lydia was heading back to the workroom to work on a bit of clothing when she had heard Kacey's call from downstairs. A little muffled, but it let her know someone was down there at least. Turning, the green haired elf meandered about halfway down the stairs, glancing about. The room was indeed empty, save Kacey. Ivy could have been on break, and rightfully so. If she had to take a guess as to Erin's whereabouts, she was probably upstairs in her office, managing entirely too much paperwork. That left Carley, who was supposed to be downstairs working the store. But she was nowhere in sight.

Sighing faintly, Lydia murmured a bit beneath her breath before offering Kacey a smile. "Hey there!" It was cheerfully called out as she started moving on down the rest of the stairs. "Sorry no one was down here, usually someone always is..." That last part was beneath her breath. Moving across the room, she drew closer to Kacey, tilting her head faintly. "It's really great to see you here Kacey. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lydia looked about when Kacey had gestured then smiled a little awkwardly. "I do suppose our organizational methods could use some work... we're hoping to work on that after the expansion. As is we sort of have a limited space for everything." She pondered Kacey's words over a moment before nodding to herself, then meandered to one of the shelves, pulling over one of the step stools Glenn had crafted to accompany it. "There's probably a few things in here that'd work for you."

Stepping on the stool, she stretched a little to pull down a few sweaters and started sifting through them, hanging particularly bright ones or ones that wouldn't quite fit Kacey back up. Finally a dark blue one was pulled down and held out for her. "This one is pretty big, so it might work for layering. I can look for another in this size if you want, as well as some others in your actual size. Did you have any preference in color, besides them not being bright?"

She tilted her head curiously at Kacey, then pointed to another shelf at the other side of the store. "I think most of the scarves and other accessories are kept over there. Mittens too, just in time for winter. If you wanted to look around over there, feel free to do so." Another somewhat awkward smile. Ivy was much better at this than she.
