January=shopping season for Retailers!
LuAnn and Raimey ventured to Atlanta in early January to shop their little hearts out! (Raimey experienced her first taste of solo buying after LuAnn left in her Atlanta and jetsetted to Hawaii) Since their return we have been buried by all of the new and exciting things they discovered.
Come in and see all the fun new things from Peacock Park, Lodis, and Roost, to lots of fun new jewelry and accessories!

Raimey's proudest moment so far at A Picket Fence:
Opening the door to our UPS delivery man claiming he had 23 boxes to deliver! "This is the most I have ever delivered to A Picket Fence in one day," he said, " I can't believe it, you have outdone your mother!!!"
Not to mention that two pallets of freight arrived that very same afternoon!

Come in and see if you liked what Raimey picked out!

Bright Moment with Brighton

On the plane to LA!!

Shown with Designer Miryam (center). You might recognize her Karma collection she designed!

This past Wednesday Lu Brightoned her Workerbee's day by sending them on a one day excursion to the Brighton factory in LA.
It is hard to describe the awe and amazement we all felt as we toured this magical world of Brighton. We were treated like Queens! We were served lunch, showered with gifts, and filled to the brim with facts and knowledge about this line we all love. The details in each piece are endless, and quite frankly I am not sure how they manage to keep prices so fare, for each piece is handle with tremendous amounts of love and care!
