    :-)   Best double-entendre I've heard in ages  (-:

re: .1 Thanx Justine.

By the way, JEA Associates is woman owned, and often hired to give DEC
classes. On things like organising yourself, or organising a team in a
corporate culture. I took a class on organising yourself from Jane
Elizabeth Allen herself. It was a truly excellent course, with an emphasis
on finding what actually works, as opposed to enforcing theories on
what should work. All the participants got something useful and enduring
from it.

    Here's that name and address I promised.
    
    	WOMENCRAFTS, INC.
    	373 Commercial Street
    	Provincetown, MA  02657
    	(617)487-2501
    
    In addition to the store in PTown, Womencrafts also does a pretty
    large catalog business.  If you call, they might put you on their
    mailing list.  Hey!  Maybe we could see about ordering Womannotes
    T-shirts!  :-)
    
    By the way, I know of a farm stand on Rte 2 (mass.) that's woman-owned.
    Would it be ok to name it here?  If not, anyone who's interested
    can send me mail.  I always like to support woman-owned businesses
    whenever possible.

    Woman-Owned farm stand
    
    For those of you who live/work in the Greater Maynard Area:
    
    Panetta's Farm in Concord/Lincoln on Rte 2.
    
    If you're heading East on Rte 2, the stand is on the right just
    before you cross 95.
    
    
    
    
    It's great to be able to support our sisters in business :-)

    re: Panetta's farm in Lincoln (herbs & harvest)
    
    The Panetta family is a very warm group - I have met some of them (a
    while ago - I'm originally from Lincoln).  The mother (I believe) had
    cancer several years ago (not sure what the status of it is now) and
    the farmstand almost went under (due to the popularity of the stand
    across the street - Lawson's).  I frequent Panetta's frequently.

    Kate's Mystery Books, in Cambridge on Mass Ave. (Owned by guess
    whom)
    
    The Flower Wagon Florist in Acton is woman (maybe womEn)-owned.
    
    

    My little sister owns her own business!
    
    So, next time you're in Palmdale California, eat lunch (or supper) at 
    The Great American Ice Cream and Candy Company.  (They make a great
    barbeque beef baked potatoe.)  She bought out the guy who started
    the business and who wasn't doing well with it.
    
    [Crud, all I do is sit behind a terminal emulator all day.]
    
    It's not easy having a sister with a candy store...  :-)

    Half Moon Bay Leather in Provincetown. Nice people to do business
    with, and they'll custom-make any size. Slacks, vests, jackets,
    purses, down vests, etc.
    

    The Riverbend Company in Peterborough NH is owned by a friend of
    mine, Margit (Peggy) Jewett.  She does landscape design and
    installation.  She does NOT do maintenance (lawn mowing, etc.)

    L'AUTHENTIQUE gift shop in Bedford, N.H.
    
    She carries real Native American jewelry, some pottery, beadwork,
    etc. Buys only what appeals to her and what she can sell here in
    the East. The Indians get the money. (not always true)

    The Sudbury Road Mobil station at 143 Sudbury Road (of course) in
    Concord (369-9807) is woman-owned (her nickname is Gabby, short for
    Gabrielle I presume, don't know her surname).  Very competent,
    straightforward woman. 
    
    Two weeks ago the water pump on my car packed in on 2 in Concord. After
    considerable trials and tribs, I wound up at her station, suspicious
    from the symptoms and the age of the car (114,000 mi) that maybe the
    block had cracked (I didn't know how to detect a dead water pump:  you
    wiggle the pulley: if it does, it is).  She tentatively diagnosed it as
    the water pump, quoted labor at 1.5 hours flatrate, and arranged for
    the car to be fetched in.  A quick look confirmed her diagnosis, and I
    was able to pick the car up, all mended, the next day.  To my surprise,
    I was billed for only 1.0 rather than 1.5 labor; she shrugged it off as
    "It only took an hour".  Nice.

    Nice ? If she can change a water pump in *1* hour, she is SUPERB
    

    SOJOURNER is a women's newspaper published in Cambridge, Mass. It
    has lot's of articles about news, politics, women's issues,
    personalities, health issues, etc. The editorial section is always
    interesting. At the center of the newspaper they have a Calendar
    listing of women's events, music, group meetings, etc. Lot's of
    women's businesses all over the U.S. advertise (inns, bookstores,
    massage, restaurants, etc.). I've subscribed to SOJOURNER for years.
    It helps to keep me connected to women's issues and events!! I read
    it cover to cover. Although I don't always agree with the opinions
    expressed, they always make me think... You can call the SOJOURNER
    office in Cambridge to ask about a subscription or where you could
    buy single issues. You can buy single issues at NEW WORDS, a women's
    bookstore on Hampshire Street in Cambridge. Enjoy!!

    What's the deal with Modern Times in Cambridge . It's a restaurant that
    appeared to be woman-owned and -run, but I've been told that it's owned
    by a man instead. (If you haven't been there, it's a nice funky
    restaurant on Hampshire Street. They have [or used to have] live music
    sometimes, and seem to have opened a patio or something in the back.)

    Modern Times was [is?] owned by women, but I've heard the same "rumor"
    - that it's now owned by a man. I believe they still have music
    occasionally. There is a woman-owned-and-operated restaurant on
    Harvard Street in Allston named SATORI. It's about a block-and-a-half
    off of Commonwealth Ave. They serve Macrobiotic food (includes fish)
    that's pretty good. The carob "fudge" cake is yummy.

    PS - Years ago I went to a woman-owned restaurant in Cambridge named
    [I believe] Bread and Roses. I think this may have been the predecessor
    to Modern Times.

    Apple Country Animal Hospital (formerly Stow* Animal Hospital) is
    now owned by Cindy Schaefer. She's very good with both animals and
    people, and so far, we've been quite pleased.
