Happy New Year, everyone! Look at us - we’re all bloggy in 2008! And I (Lise), for one, am very excited. This will be a much better way to communicate with our excellent customers, about deals and new arrivals and fashion news and all of that fun stuff. There will be photos and links and lots of updates, and it’s going to be tremendous. (I’m fairly certain I’ve never actually used that word before.)

Of course, at this point, there’s not a TON of stuff to say… it was a decent holiday season and now 90% of the store is on sale. There’s still plenty of good merchandise left; it’s just a matter of getting lucky with your size. And it is going fast. We had a lot of big sales yesterday and today. People are scooping up La Canadienne boots, Born boots and shoes, Privo and Indigo shoes, Bungalow bags and every other kind of bag, all sorts of cute smock-y tops, baby clothing, and lots of other stuff I can’t remember.

The spring deliveries will start really soon, in just a few weeks. The first to arrive will be bags and they are sooo excellent, I can’t even tell you how excited I am to get the customer feedback. Lines like Shiraleah and Bungalow 360 and Maruca which always do so well for us, and then new lines like Este, a Canadian line of faux-leather bags that are certain to be instant top sellers.

Photos and more are coming soon. I just wanted to test the new blog!
