The definition of FABULOSITY

Fabulosity: in a state of being or feeling fabulous. This is what immediately came to mind as one of my latest customers, Roz, tried on my Knotty Crochet Coat. She was so excited that she exclaimed " I have been waiting for this coat for years" though I only started making them last year. She did a quick financial calculation on her fingers, put a deposit on the coat on Saturday, paid the balance on Tuesday and wore it out the door though the weather was a little warm for it. She may have felt good about the purchase but her enthusiasm made me feel wonderful. To have made something that will put her in a state of FABULOSITY every time she wears it I would guess makes me fabulous too.
