LA Trip and More!

The day before we left for our Los Angeles Apparel Show trip we had a visitor from Texas.. This is Debbie that makes our wonderful French fabric flowers that we now have in the shop... She was staying at a resort in Scottsdale for the weekend for a little R & R before heading back to Texas and getting ready for the Fall and Winter season.... It was such a delight to have her see the shop and where her flowers are.....

Then Sunday morning bright and early we were off to L. A. for some ordering and buying for the #2 shop.... We had another successful trip and have some wonderful Fall clothing coming in..... Stay tuned and in a future blog I will tell you all about the trunk show we are going to have to show all of you the Fall clothing lines......

This is where we spent 4 days.... shopping our little hearts out..... tough job but someone has to do it! So armed with rolling suitcases and our tennies on Heather and I dug in and starting shopping....

We ate lunch at this wonderful little bistro right across from the Mart, the architecture was absolutely wonderful.... so of course had to snap a few pics.

This building was right across the street from our hotel... the fire escape was even so architecturely beautiful....

We stayed at the Sheraton and it was right in the heart of downtown.....

Beautiful succulent arrangement in the lobby of the hotel...

One of my reps, Marilyn moved out of the mart and has her showroom on this quaint little street that is so urban LA.....

Took a break from ordering Fall and she showed us the Fenini spring line... light and whispy fabrics. We will see these in the shop come next February.... CAN'T WAIT!

The entrance into her showroom store.... and she lives upstairs.. the perfect setup....

Marilyn in the polkadot and her assistance Debbie saying goodbye to us... we spent a delightful afternoon with them....

Lots of fun clothes arrving soon.... Mark your calendars for September 16th, Friday Night 5pm- 9pm for our fall trunk show.... Be the first to purchase your fall clothing..... and of course wine and munchies will be served.... cuz we know how to throw a party at the Cottage Garden.....
