Closer to Love Collection

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Well, I promised I would do this more often. Honestly is really a challenge for me to put the fabric down and pick up the computer!! The last post was about the whirlwind last six months, well wait till you hear about the last 6 weeks!!!! It is truly amazing! So I went to market in Dallas and Atlanta, it was awesome!! I came home and knew I needed a bigger workspace, so I thought well this could be it!! My big dream happening! My creative space! My workshop, shopshop, and a community gathering space to just play and have fun!!!!! So I did it!! Our soft opening was on Sunday! The sales in the last 3 days have left the store almost empty!! I really cant believe it! And everyone says "Why cant you believe it?" I don't know. Honestly, i suppose its hard for me to believe that my deepest heartfelt dreams are coming true! I am so honored to have the love and support of my family, friends and this most amazing beautiful community that I live in. As the clothing that I make may be cute, or even "cool" what I hope transcends is the love!!!
Oh gosh did I just get all goopy on the blog? yep!!
Good thing I don't have any followers yet!! HA! This is just like my journals! And I would always sign them...

Wow!! What an amazing summer!! The fastest in my life!! I can offcially say that Nicole Paloma has spread her wings! In the spring we launched the "Closer to Love Collection" with much love and support from my dear friends. I remember telling everyone that would listen " something big is happening!" It did!! Our company was flooded with orders! Both from our beloved Nicole Paloma hombres, Ha! You know who you are!!! Anyway.....got to laugh at yourself sometimes!
A new store opened this spring in seaside, Duckies!! Duckies Shop of Fun carried the entire Nicole Paloma Children's line! I was so excited. What blew my mind, it sold out, again and again through the summer!! Along with the Watersound Beach Club, and Ophelia. And then at the end of summer we launched our "Alta Costura" line in the World Six Gallery in Rosemary beach!!
Whew!!! The next adventure is one that I hope will continue to be a part of Nicole Paloma. We created a charitable t-shirt for our beloved http://foodforthoughtfl.org program. Food For Though Outreach provides meals for children in our community and each shirt sold supports meals for three children a week! Shirts can be purchased at Sweet Bay Prints here in local Santa Rosa Beach, FL. And on thursday, I will be flying to Dallas to showcase the Spring/Summer 2012 Children's line!!
