Behind the Scenes at Market with the Owners of Grandiflora!

 Oooouuuuuooooooo!!!

If you like bags, jewelry, scarves, & hats...then you're gonna LOVE this post!

We took off last weekend to:

 Seattle!

We love to attend market to hunt down all the latest and coolest new digs.

This time we spent most of one day searching out all the cutest new looks for fall and winter!

We are so lucky to get in and shop for you, our customer in the department which is called

"Cash & Carry"

 You see, most of "Market" consists of going into a showroom & looking through hoards and hoards of candles, home decor, and silks. You spend days and days marking up order forms, sitting in front of computer screens, with tired eyes....and even more tired feet.

THEN,

YOU,

WAIT..............

&

WAIT>>>>>>>SOME>>>>>>MORE!!!

It can take up to 9 months to get orders placed in January!

It makes it kinda hard for folks to understand how things work in the store when they

"....want just one more???"

We try our hardest to keep on top of things, but it's always a bit difficult when a reorder is involved.

HOWEVER...

:)

"Cash and Carry"

is just that:

Pay NOW & GET NOW!

Whoo Hoo!

:)

We LIKE it alot...it's SO refreshing from the norm of order now.....get in 6 months.

 So,

we take a few trusted employees along & start pickin'

We think long and hard about what we need to find.

This trip we had taken hours to look for the perfect new floral bags (see first photo), and a new purse line (come to store to see!).

Then we spent hours shopping for jewelry in all the best finishes & styles.

Scarves are always on the top of the list for us at this time of the year...you should see the cute ones in the store already!

After that we wandered around and decided we needed some

SUPER CUTE HATS!!!

 Here's Janice our Office Manager in a sweet hand knit warmer.

 Kim joined in with Janice....

 ....she was looking quite chic, so....

...we all listened to the owner of the company give us some tutorials to take back for all of you about hats! 

 She was quite the wiz bang with the way hats should compliment your features...and how there is a hat for everyone!

Small head, short hair, big head, long hair, even folks who fight with wearing glasses...

 We found the cutest hat that looked different on everone!

You can scruntch it and tweak it to look good on anyone!

Don't believe me?

See below!

Amazing how two sisters that are SO DIFFERENT....and yet very similar can look real cute in the same hat worn very differently.

( Yep, that's La Von my sister and partner & me Trish looking oh so dashing in our new found fave hat.)

SO,

we are working VERY hard to get all these goodies priced and out for your shopping pleasure.

Please be patient with us as it takes alot of work to do so.

We are still buried in boxes galore from all the new products we are deperately trying to get out everyday.

We hope to see you in soon for all the new discoveries!

Cheers!
