Good news...

I survived another day without my computer! I just got it back tonight to find out that Tim the computer guy was able to save all my files and photos.

THANK YOU TIM!!

Now onto some really good stuff...I was so excited to find out that I had won a necklace from Heather at Angel Face Designs!

I was given a hand stamped sterling silver name necklace similar to the one above only with my boys names and birthstones and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I get so many compliments on it everywhere I go and my boys were so amazed to see that the necklace had their names on it.

Let's talk about customer service... Not only did I win the necklace but she hand delivered it to me in a beautiful package at the Lodi Street Faire. Now I know she can't hand deliver every piece but it was an honor to meet her in person she is as sweet as can be. Click here to visit Angel Face Designs and see more of Heather's beautiful work.

Thank you Heather!!

What's a girl to do...

Without her computer that is!

I sat down at my desk with my cup of coffee in hand to read my emails as I do every morning. Except when I went to turn on the computer it didn't do anything other than make a lot of strange noises. So with that said I am having computer problems...it is at the computer doctor as we speak and I am just praying that all my photos will be saved! I had to wait all day for my husband to get home so I could use his laptop to check my emails and make this post. I know I was going to post about an amazing jewelry designer but I am going to wait...why because what's a post without photos of her fabulous work and I can't get to the photos without my computer. Oh what a mess...

That also puts a delay on updating our website with the Fall 2009 Collection. Hopefully I will get some good news tomorrow regarding my computer.

Well I'm off to work on orders...

The Emme Collection winner is...

Jen who said "I love the Emme Sweater - It would go wonderfully with so many tops and bottoms, skirts and pants...wow! What a great giveaway!"

Please email us with your desired size.

Thank you to all who entered our giveaway! Keep watch for our next giveaway...coming soon! We will also be offering a special discount this week for all of our Facebook fans!! So if you not a fan yet hop on over to become one!

Can I just tell you what an amazing time we had yesterday at the Lodi Street Faire! Thousands of people came out to enjoy great food and of course fabulous shopping! We saw many familiar faces and got to meet many new ones as well. We just want to say thank you for all of you who came out to visit our booth and made our day such a success! We had many pieces from our new Fall 2009 Collection which went over extremely well.

Keep watch for our Fall Collection to be added to our website over the next few days!

I will be doing a special post tomorrow on an amazing jewelry designer that I finally got to meet at the Lodi Street Faire...you won't want to miss it!

They're going fast...

Wow I am so excited to see how well our new Emme Collection is doing.

The Emme Collection is a Limited Edition and once it's gone...it's gone. The sweaters are especially doing well. I think that is because it is such a versatile piece and will go great with many of our dresses skirts and ruffle pants. Sorry, we have completely sold out of size 2 and 6 in the sweater.

Grab one while you can!
