...mostly because at Village Outfitters we only
carry the best outdoor gear around. This means
quality and reliability are our first priorities.
This means Patagonia. Started by climbers who
wanted the best gear for themselves in the early
1970’s, the name has been synonymous with
quality and the outdoors for the past 3 decades.
For those of us who don’t regularly scale
mountains or hike glaciers, Patagonia makes
something for everyone. At Village Outfitters we
try our best to find a happy medium of products
that suit every style of adventurer. For the
weekend hiker, the men’s and women’s Torrent
Jackets are made with Patagonia’s trademark
H2NO fabric. This means waterproof and
watertight like a submarine. The contents of
your pockets will remain dry for the duration
of your hike, no exceptions. Comfort lovers, we
have you covered too. Village Outfitters also

carries the original Synchilla pullovers and zip
up fleece. Synchilla has been made with recycled
plastic bottles since 1993, and Patagonia still
uses mostly natural or recycled synthetic fibers
for a large portion of their clothing.
The only thing that tops our love for the
Patagonia brand is our guest’s love of the
company and its policies. Ask any guest
wearing a Patagonia product and the second
thing out of their mouth (first being how
comfortable it is) is going to be about the
Ironclad Guarantee. This means that if your
Patagonia gear is not living up to its hype or
your personal standards, you may send it to
Patagonia for a repair, return or full refund.
Yep, they are that good. If reading this has
gotten you excited enough to take up hiking,
come and visit us at Village Outfitters. ❊

Take Time for Yourself,
Find the Right Fitting Bra
A
simple luxury of life, a comfortable bra is an integral part of a woman’s outfit, no matter
her age or style. Like a “bad hair day,” a poorly fitting bra can ruin a woman’s confidence,
while affecting her posture, comfort, and appearance.
KAREN THOMPSON, FOUNDER,
LACE SILHOUETTES LINGERIE
EST. 1988
Karen Thompson,
founder of Lace
Silhouettes Lingerie,
opened her first store
in Peddler’s Village,
Bucks County in 1988
knowing she wanted
to create something
unique: real lingerie
for real women. Her
purpose was to create
a shopping experience
that would focus on the
customer, “our guest,”
and her individual
needs. Although bras
are an everyday part of
a woman’s wardrobe,
many of us have heard
rumors that turn us
away from styles that
could be perfect for
our body types. Karen
Thompson wants to help
According to Karen Thompson, owner of Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, eight out of ten women are
wearing the wrong-sized bra. For nearly 26 years, Lace Silhouettes Lingerie has been helping women
of all ages, sizes, and styles to find the perfect fit by providing them with personalized, knowledgeable
service in a comfortable shopping environment…offering a wide assortment of sizes from 32A to
44DDD.
Lace Silhouettes Lingerie offers professional bra fittings to help each
woman find the right fit for her body. Most women have never received
a proper bra fitting, and even fewer realize that their bra size can
change as many as six times in their lives.
A woman needs more than just one good bra because wearing
the same one each day will decrease its lifespan. With proper care,
a good bra will have a three-year lifespan. This care includes
rotation in wardrobe, allowing unworn bras to be carefully washed
and air-dried.
According to Thompson, a woman should have six essential bras: four
everyday styles (three in nude, one in black), a racerback, and a strapless
style. Once a woman has built a wardrobe that includes these essentials, she
can add fashionable styles, fabrics, colors, and special-purpose bras. A great
option for a fashion bra is Wacoal’s new Pure Couture Contour Bra.
Thompson believes most women who come to Lace Silhouettes Lingerie for
a fitting do so simply because they are uncomfortable. Falling straps and/or
ill-fitting bands and cups are common complaints. When a bra fits poorly,
it causes slouching of the shoulders. When properly fitted, the weight is
dispersed between the straps and back of a bra. This improves a
woman’s posture and comfort, helping her to exude confidence.
you get the facts about
be wearing, so she has
compiled a list of some
myths about bras and
shapewear.

RETRO CHIC BRA
BY WACOAL
According to Thompson, a woman has found the right fit when she wants to wear the
bra out of the store. Thompson “fell in love” with the Retro Chic bra by Wacoal, which
features padded shoulder straps that offer additional comfort.
“A properly fitted bra is an affordable luxury,” says Thompson, “a way to pamper and care for
yourself.” A simple luxury of life. ❊

you have outfits.

Signatures has travel pieces that are easy to pack and unpack. Looks
are basic black to the fashion color of the season: shades of blue.
Accessories make and pull together a look. Brighton is full of spring
looks to build an outfit around. Their handbag collection looks great
this season with a touch of nautical anchors. A classic bag for years
and a guest favorite for decades.

Be sure to ask about our birthday club. Signatures also offers a
birthday party for 5 of your girlfriends along with a cake. A perfect
way to pamper yourself and your friends. Ask our stylists for details.
INSIDER TIP...
After purchasing your outfit, be sure to give us your best designer
signature since we’d all like to be our designer someday...or at least
dress like one.

or over 25 years, Eldreth Pottery
have been producing quality
handmade salt-glazed stoneware
and redware pottery in Oxford, PA.
We are committed to the talented
artisans and staff who have helped
shape our product, to our wonderful
customers, and to the preservation and
continuation of the heritage of quality
handmade American crafts.
What makes Eldreth
Pottery unique?
Most of the pieces you see in our
showroom are one-of-a-kind. Our skilled
potters and painters are encouraged
to experiment with new shapes and
patterns, which keeps our product lines
fresh and exciting. Each piece is hand
signed, Eldreth Pottery. You will also see
the painter’s initials on the piece. Many
customers find there is a certain artist
they prefer.
We also take many custom orders. We
have produced bathroom sinks, tile
work, and a number of unusual pieces
including but not limited to fountains,
lamps shaped like pitchers and extra
large bean crocks. If you can dream it,
chances are…we can make it for you!
Can I use my pottery?
The pottery we produce is functional.
Our salt-glazed stoneware and redware
is food, oven, microwave and dishwasher
safe. Bring to room temperature before
placing in the oven. There are no
leads in our glazes. Dave Eldreth has
spent roughly 30 years perfecting the
processes, slips and glazes you see
in the products we offer. These trade
secrets are what help to make our
pottery unlike that of other potteries.

Dave Eldreth’s Story
I have always admired the design and craftsmanship of early American pottery. Because of this interest,
I pursued my dream to create Eldreth Pottery. I vividly remember loading my 1972 Ford Pinto until it
was straining under the weight of numerous buckets of clay that I had dug myself from a local quarry in
Southeastern Lancaster County. I didn’t have money for a potter’s wheel and improvised my first wheel
from an old Maytag washing machine. It worked great. I then borrowed a small kiln and the next thing I
knew I was in the pottery business.
After a tremendous amount of trial and error, I loaded my trusty Pinto full
of finished pots and off I went to sell them. I would pull up to a shop
or museum, go inside, tell them my story and they would come out
to look inside my rusty steed. By the end of the day the load of pots
was gone and I would be able to buy the toys or dresses my twin
daughters wanted.
Life was good. My basement became Eldreth Pottery. My wife,
Faye, was both a business partner and best friend. I started doing
some shows and pottery demonstrations for museums and other
historical venues. People started coming to my house to buy pots.
My twins set up a small stand in the yard and would yell at passing
traffic, “Pots for sale!”
When it was time for expansion, I built a small shop next to my house and
experimented with different projects, including the carvings for our Santa
collection. With the help of my friend and teacher, John Baker, I got up enough
nerve and money to build my first salt-glaze kiln. I thought I was going to go
broke before I could figure out how to fire it. The fact there is not much written
on salt-glazing did not help.
Since the early
days, the business
continues to be an
exciting adventure.
I had four employees in my shop when I met Dan Watt while on a tour of the
Pfaltzgraff pottery. Dan, a process engineer, was a godsend with solving some
technical problems we had at the time. Dan really envisioned the potential of the business, and asked me
for a job. I could not believe it. It was then that I decided to seriously expand the business. We now have
roughly 35 employees, and we have three shops in PA (Oxford, Strasburg and Peddler’s Village).
Since the early days, the business continues to be an exciting adventure. I have met a lot of wonderful
people, won many early American craft awards and have done some interesting projects, including
an ornament for the White House Christmas Tree and a piece for the Vice President. Now my twin
daughters are carrying on the tradition of producing unique one-of-a-kind pottery. With their vision,
the business continues to grow and be successful. They too are enjoying the journey. On behalf of all of
us here at Eldreth Pottery, thank you for your business, and I hope that you will enjoy your product for
many generations to come. ❊
