Great conversation with a longtime weekend customer on Saturday. She & her husband are based in West L.A. and weekend at their Montecito home. She picked up a gift for him, ironically he was in the store 10 minutes prior, both were shopping for each other discreetly, very sweet. It's very flattering when you learn that your shop is the 'go to' place for special gifts in a community. Between assisting her and wrapping up her purchase, we were chatting about the amount of time they spend up here, and how it should be more, and ultimately about traffic. L.A. traffic is really awful, and the 101 really bad.
Even though I travel frequently, I mentioned that I often think about moving someplace else...and then without hesitation she reminded me how fortunate I am to be raising my daughter in a fabulous small beach town. What I loved is that she went on to say that it's easy to become a 'city girl." You just show up in the city....and the next day you belong. It's so true! It's the small town girls who bring diversity to the city.
