December 1, 2008
Happy December!! Rachel has a LOT to say!
Hello!!Maybe it's the still lasting effects of one of my two favorite holidays (thanksgiving) and all the yumminess and gratitude that comes with it..or maybe it was the shocking 55 degree weather we had today, or the beautiful moon tonight..but I am FULL of love and thoughts tonight!! I will attempt to keep this brief.. but i can't make any promises! :)
Many of our customers (friends) know this already, but I'm a triple Virgo.. which basically means I ADORE lists.. so here goes.. some thoughts for this brand new month...December!
1)I am so amazed and grateful for the women around me every day! Last week, Laura, Kristen and Deanne did the most fantastic job getting GTJ ready for the holidays!
I am talking FULL ON holiday decorations in the gallery! I don't know how they did it, but I emerged from our offices, (pack and ship central) to find the gallery positively illuminated! Lights everywhere, candles (one burning all night.. oops, and phew!), and like these little 'holly/berry/glass ball thingys in EVERY window! I think Laura channeled all her years of owning a florist shop into one day! WOW!
So, after a great day off on Thursday, I had a blast working in the gallery this weekend. The most fun customers came in! we drank cider, ate cookies, and shopped. It was awesome!!
2) We are SO STOCKED UP for the holidays! Deanne has been unbelievable with her ordering this season! She didn't miss one thing!! and as a result, we have so many amazing gifts ready to send out to everyone.. Free shipping and gift wrap..
3)Speaking of 'getting ready'... I don't want to spill any beans here, but GTJ is getting ready for it's most beautiful, miracle-proving, addition EVER!! (think.. well, 8 months in.. one to go.. you can guess the rest!!) (not me, but we did a practice 'run' of 'what happens if it happens HERE today!! I couldn't be more excited!! STAY TUNED!
4)Our emails/newsletters we are sending out.. PLEASE tell me if they ever get to be 'too much' or ANNOYING in any way.. I would hate that!! It's just that YES. it has been a tough year for everyone..but/and we so want to be the place you do your holiday shopping.. because we know we will 1) do a great job getting the pieces to you quickly and beautifully, and 2) We know the recipient will LOVE the gift of jewelry with meaning! and 3) we have the best prices, so it's a win win!
(look at that, I found a way to make a list ..within a list! TRIPLE virgo I tell you!
5)More exciting news! Our house lines, namely the livegreen bracelet and Cape Cod Rocks, are ROCKIN' the nation!. In fact, when I was in L.A. last week, I gifted some of my favorite 'celebs' with these pieces. One dear friend was about to shoot the COVER of Vanity Fair with Annie Lebowitz!! He really wanted the piece in the shot.. but we will have to wait and see.. lately, he's developed a reputation for being 'in the buff' more times than not.. so.. stay tuned for THAT too! :)
6) Speaking of L.A. .. I'm once again, 'back and forth' a LOT!.. Both spreading the word about Giving Tree Jewelry (I made 2 amazing friends that started a company called www.someonespoilme.com BRILLIANT.. CHECK IT OUT!)AND trying to spread my 'revolution of kindness' to the world!!
You really have to, again, stay tuned.. but just know.. I'm trying! :)
7) Did I mention how grateful I am feeling these days? For the chance to try (daily) to run the best, most considerate company out there, with the most awesome women, the chance get to interact with people (YOU GUYS!) that completely encourage, inspire and motivate me? Well, I am grateful. And honored and touched..
And I better stop now because I can tell I'm slipping into melodrama!
So in closing.. here is the 'short list'
HAPPY DECEMBER!
THANK YOU LAURA, KRISTEN AND DEANNE!
MOMMY I LOVE YOU!
AND
GET YOUR GIFT ON! WITH GIVING TREE JEWELRY Because we will do right by you!
So much love,
Rachel
