Next week, we will welcome Barbara Boudreaux:
”I offer two styles of masks, the BB FACEMASK and the PROTECTIVE PUFFY MASK. My designs are different from most homemade masks. They are designed to fit better and be more comfortable than most cloth, surgical and N95 masks. They are available in various solid colors, decorations and sizes for small children up to large adults.”

Both styles offer the following features:

·         Rib knit trim holds the mask snugly to your face for greater protection and comfort and helps eye glasses to not fog up.

·         Ear loops are made of a soft and comfortable nylon/spandex fabric.

·         100% cotton jersey knit may effectively capture 50% - 70% of virus particulates

·         Reusable and machine washable

·         Available in various sizes, and an eclectic assortment of solid colors and decoraations, while supplies last.

Additional features of the PROTECTIVE PUFFY MASK include:

·    The “puffy” feature holds the mask away from nose and lips for easier breathing and speaking with less need to reposition the mask due to shifting.   

·   “Puffy” center can be personalized with embroidery, iron on products, fabric paint or fabric markers.  

Prices range from $5 - $10 per mask. I accept credit cards and cash.
