I am extremely excited to introduce our new website.  It has been a long time in the making. I think it was worth the wait.  Jodi Hersh, of Orange Star Design, gets the credit for the beautiful design work.  She was a joy to work with and I will be forever grateful.

That said,  this is a year that passed very quickly.  We all know the cliché about the years speeding by, but it seems we just closed the 2010 Holiday Store in Grand Central and suddenly we are six weeks from opening the 2011 event.  We have two new lines going to NY for this Holiday Season.  I will be testing every style to weigh it's potential for the Spring /Summer wholesale collection.  All customer feedback  is appreciated.

We've also expanded into over 80 new galleries and have a great Google Map showing all the gallery locations and their company logos.  It seems silly but I just love that little tool.  I keep going in and clicking on the icons, (please note they are in the shape of my "Q" logo), just to see the names of all our great galleries.   I really need to get out more.....

Perhaps the biggest event of the year is our new studio.  We broke ground in July of 2010 and moved into our new space in March.  It is beautiful as are the views from the window.  I am attaching a photo.

So there you have it, my first Blog entry.  Stay tuned....
