A Design Idea - Backpacks with Hoodies!

We were thinking about hoodies today and came upon the idea of hoodie backpacks! So we improvised to get an idea of what it might look like...

Barbed Wire Roses

The Virgin on the Walls of Love Shine

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children

Stuffed Doggy on the Lawn

Spring reminds us how we would place our stuffed doggy outside in front of the store. He is retired now and living a nice life in our office. We cannot say goodbye to him - but would be great to send him to Florida for retirement though! Any takers?

Mina - Ma chi è quello lì

Two Doggies Walk Into a Store

So I asked to take a picture of this sporty customer with her new Love Shine saddle bag (she also purchased a yoga mat bag).
We tried to get the doggies to pose for a picture.
Obviously they were not that interested...

A Nice Encounter at Love Shine

Now this is how you pose for the camera!!!


Meet this lovely lady from Seattle.  Her friend brought her to the store to replace a much beloved bag she bought 9 years ago. Unknowingly she had purchased the bag from the old Love Shine 1.0 next door and she didn't recognize the new store next door!


This is the friend she came in with.  She is looking very good in her new sweater she purchased at the store.  And, of course, she is expecting too!!!  Very nice to meet and chat with these two ladies.

The Artist

... still know as Mark has returned to his passion for fabric dye (which is great since that was an important process at the beginning of Love Shine).  Now only if we had a bigger sink!

Lucha Lucha Luchador

Lucha madness last night... he got this mask and wore it down the street!  We are sure he turned some heads 'cause this one is a little scary!
