I actually have a post about them in the que -- one of those unfinished ones. :-)<BR/>They are not only a good fit for me but with all the gardening I do they are long lasting.

Also, I did mention free shipping. ;-) But no harm in repeating it! I saw Ethel Gloves at Lowe's this week, too. They were $17.95 there, plus tax, so ordering through the website is definitely cheaper. Also, my two local Lowe's both only had one style. But if you have a Lowe's near you, that's a good idea, to try them on there, if you're uncertain about using their sizing guide.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-91597872890703291882009-03-28T11:35:00.000-04:002009-03-28T11:35:00.000-04:00oh - I must add - the website has free standard sh...oh - I must add - the website has free standard shipping!! My local Lowe's sells them, so I was going to purchase there, bc I figured shipping would be more than the 10%, but not any more! Nice :) Wanted to share that in case anyone else was thinking the same thing.<BR/><BR/>Now I think I'll try them on for size at the store, then come and order myself a pair, and one for my mom for Easter, her bday, or Mother's Day, all of which are coming up soon!

I usually have half a dozen $2 pairs lying around, because I like being able to feel things through the thin fabric. However, they don't keep the dirt (or thorns!) out, and they develop holes in no time. If I don't win, I will definitely have to order myself a pair. <BR/><BR/>(PICK ME! PICK ME!
