Pillow talk

Rule number one in small business ownership: Learn something new each day by listening to those with more experience!

​Sometimes, just sometimes, I really should listen to suggestions from our vendors. One of our top selling items, the lined sarongs, comes from a darling company and I purchase them through a lovely woman named Julien. For the last year, each and every time I place an order with her, she suggests we try and sell their inflatable pillows. I repeatedly turn down, ignore, or blatantly refuse her suggestion. Sometime last Spring, in a momentary lapse of judgement, I said, “oh, ok send me 20 pillows in a few colors.”

I should have believed she knew her product.

Sold out in less than 48 hours!

People LOVE these pillows and buy them not only for the beach but the pool, the lake, the tub, and even the airplane! Their compact size and ability to fit easily into your pocket, purse, or bag coupled with their $19 price point makes them one of our most recent top sellers.

​To the lovely Julien, I owe you a tremendous “thank you” for your persistence in suggesting we carry these inflatable pillows. I will thank you personally when we see you in Paris in two weeks!

what's in a name?

Fifi? Jacques? Juliette?

We have never named our container and that's a shame really, especially considering the new face lift she (he?) has had recently.
​
A brand new coat of white paint on the exterior and hand-painted logos on each side, he (she?) is refreshed and ready for the fall season.

While we're waiting for the heat to subside, though, it might make sense to find a proper name.

This is where you come in.

Please send any and all suggestions for French names to us and if we pick your name we will happily ship a nice bottle of olive oil, pressed last October, to you.

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you somewhere on the road this fall!
