Jeanie and I gathered with our industry on a lovely rooftop
in steamy, sultry midtown. 16 Companies joined together to jury an awards
ceremony that recognizes specialty stores for the following 4 categories:
Personal Touch, Best Reference Store, European Flair, and Concept Store.
We sat with Danielle Zamudio at the Natori table and enjoyed
sharing a lovely meal and conversation. We had the pleasure of meeting
Ken Natori, Mrs. Natori’s son, and celebrating some fun milestones of his son,
Cruz.

During his Belgium trip with Van de Velde in
January, SOL Man Bruce made the acquaintance of a mother and daughter owned
store in Newfoundland. He was so excited to talk business with both of them and to
share in their energy and excitement. Their shop Le Boudoir just celebrated their 2nd
anniversary and they won for Best of Intima’s Choice, a well deserved honor!

| Congrats to Le Boudoir! |
We shared a quick word with our friends from Bits of Lace
in Charleston, NC. We’ve known Zee (next to me) for many years and
were delighted to be introduced to Nicole, their store manager.

It was a joy to see our industry join together to celebrate
one another and each other’s successes. The goody bag was a super bonus –
it’s always a treat to be showered in gifts, especially when one of them is a
gorgeous new set from Lise Charmel!
Today, we're off to CurveNY with Amanda and Jocelyn from SOL's buying department. Keep an eye on our blog and our Facebook page. Jeanie and I will be snapping pics to post of whatever beautiful, creative,
or unique, person, place, or thing we come across that strikes our fancy!
xoxo,
Cindy and Jeanie
