Got some Love Shine Today?

The lady on the right use to live in the neighborhood. She was very happy to see that we were still around. And surprised to see that we had EXPANDED into our new space. She just bought another Love Shine bag to add to her collection of gifts from the store.

A Very Happy Customer at Love Shine

She bought this large Haitian steel drum art piece. We loaded it into her car later.
She was very excited to have this art piece in her life (and so were we)!

NEW Prints... from Love Shine

A Green Melrose Love Shine medium tote... this pattern (also available in pink) is still going strong.

Australia....

is where these lovely ladies come from... and we LOVE the idea that they will be taking some Love Shine back to the land down under.

But they are off to the garlic festival in California first.

More Brown Flower...

A baguette? Why yes!

Richard

If that's not love, what is?

So his wife sent him to Love Shine to pick up some items.

They live in Madison, Wisconsin where she is working away on her dissertation.

Meanwhile, he agreed to be her personal shopper in NYC and took her requests on his cellphone. What a great guy!

The View Across the Street

We are fortunate to have a community garden across the street from the store.

This is what you see when you stand in the doorway...





This customer needed a t-shirt - ASAP - for a jog. She was looking for something a little more affordable BUT decided this one was super cute and splurged anyway.

Some recent visitors to Love Shine

A Green Melrose Market bag... not just for the market anymore!

The lady, not the baby...

She just bought a yard of oil cloth to use as a baby splat mat.

SALE Time... and a Puppy Love Story

In front of the store....

Awww...

This family makes us smile.

They reside in Orange County, CA. but were in town for a little vacation.

We were closed when the daughter on the left passed by. But lucky for us, they came back yesterday and picked up some Love Shine bags.

From left to right... Lucha courier bag, sage duffle bag and a black butterfly medium tote. Don't they look great?

Pink Tweed... and a cool store pic

Sometimes a bag wears a person and at other times... well, let's say, she totally OWNS her new Love Shine bag.

The Trifecta

This smiling lady (who is generally "camera shy" we are told) and her companion have decided to buy these three Love Shine bags.

Only two are destined for her closet... the third one is a gift.

From left to right: Bascha Wilson zipper tote, White Butterfly Medium tote, and the Flying Dragon Medium tote.

Some recent Love Shine visitors

A cute brother and sister duo... Richard made the mistake of trying to guess - at their request - who was older and who was younger. And he even took the biggest risk in trying to guess their ages.

Katie's doggy wanted to put his paws up and rest for awhile.

He was feeling a bit frisky and did not want to pose for his picture.
