"I have a Pretty Wit!"
Our Shop name is from William Shakespeare's As You Like It.
William. Good even, Audrey.
Audrey. God ye good even, William.
William. And good even to you, sir.
Touchstone. Good even, gentle friend. Cover thy head, cover thy head; nay, prithee, be covered. How old are you, friend?
Will. Five-and-twenty, sir.
Touch. A ripe age. Is thy name William?
Will. William, sir.
Touch. A fair name. Wast born i’ the forest here?
Will. Ay, sir, I thank God.
Touch. ‘Thank God;’ a good answer. Art rich?
Will. Faith, sir, so so.
Touch. ‘So so,’ is good, very good, very excellent good: and yet it is not; it is but so so. Art thou wise?
Will. Ay, sir, I have a pretty wit.
Touch. Why, thou sayest well. I do now remember a saying, ‘The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.’

Our Mom taught us how to sew and craft when we were very young. And we haven't stopped since! we really enjoy Knitting and Crocheting and weaving. so as you can guess, we're fools for YARN! We also enjoy Drawing and Painting and Illuminated Text. (coming soon!)
We first started a blog called The Three Spinsters ( http://www.3sistersofgrace.blogspot.com/ ) where we posted photos of our crafts and things.
And then we found our name (from Shakespeare) and started our Etsy shop! ( www.prettywit.etsy.com )
Next we needed a blog to host our giveaways on and so created Pretty Wit - The Blog. ( http://prettywit.blogspot.com/ ) Where we do just that. Among other silly Shakespearean spoofs starring The Three Spinsters and characters like Maid Marian and Tonto and others. :)
Not totally Pretty Wit related:
To show you our love of books and literature, My sister has a Book Blog ( http://janeandelizabeth.blogspot.com/ ) where she (Jane) and her friend (Elizabeth) tell of all the books they read and favorite authors.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to read about us!
We hope you have a Pretty Day!
Love,
Genevieve, Marguerite, and Aimee
