Mark with his NEW Oil Cloth Letter Holder


So a young lady came in a couple of weeks ago... she saw our deluxe letter holder and asked if Mark could make her one.

He said yes... and he even let her pick out her an an oil cloth pattern/color.

Ta-da! Here it is! Sewn up by the man behind the designs at Love Shine!

Repair Job


She brought her day bag in for some much needed repair. Mark sewed it back together and even replaced the "No Tocar" image for this longtime Love Shine
patron.
She also bought a new oil cloth wallet... her old one (the one on the left) has seen better days.

Longtime East Village Residents

Few and far between... we were happy to meet this couple. And, of course, to reminisce about the old days in the East Village.

She bought a Cow girl saddle bag. And a pony.

Just kidding.

Pucker up...


Meet a friend of the store... she fronts a group called Vulgaras. She just purchased a Frida Kahlo umbrella (right hand).












We love her tattoos and style (check out that hand bag...hmmm giving us ideas).

And she loves the store!

Former Girl from the 'hood

Tres cute, no? She bought one of our new t-shirts...















And a Love Shine oil cloth backpack too! She use to live in the neighborhood. But luckily she still gets her hair done around the corner. And luckily, she remembers to visit the store too!

Butterflies and Dancing Queens

She doesn't like having her photo taken... but she consented to this profile shot. We think she looks smashing wearing her Love Shine Black Butterfly Market Bag.










































Meet our "Dancing Queen" Lilly... and her little brother and cool papa! We gave her the tiara for this shot.

In Search of the Perfect Love Shine Bag

These two women have come in before... and we were happy to see them again! So we pulled out our storage bin so they could see ALL of the styles we had in stock.

The lady below (who resides in Gainseville, Florida) bought 7, yes 7 "Kitty Carlyle" small handbags. She said that she LOVES this style and so do her friends in Florida. She bought extras so that her friends might be able to share the Love Shine glamour...

And note that she also carries an oil cloth wallet too! We love that we have fans in this Florida town.

Mark's Cousin...

Sherry was in town for Mark's nephew's Bar Mitzvah. She - and her husband - are very cool people living in Mexico. Of course he had to give her some Love Shine (tattoo market bag) to spread south of the border!
