Published?! So surreal!

A few weeks ago, I received an email from someone I'd never met (Kimberly Lawson) asking if she could interview me for an article she was writing for Creative Loafing Charlotte Magazine. She had found me on Etsy and was compiling a "Holiday Chic" gift guide. The best part is she wanted to have all of the suggestions be local Charlotte items! I was thrilled! After being awkward during the phone interview (I actually apologized for being a rambler but I just can't shut up when I'm nervous), I was (im)patiently awaiting the release of the "gift guide"! So TECHNICALLY this comes out in print tomorrow but it's out on the web today! You can read the article HERE. I am so lucky to be counted amongst so many awesome things. I honestly can't believe it!
I'm going to try to find myself a copy (or two) of the magazine tomorrow. I'll scan it and post it here so you can all enjoy seeing Abibi in print!

Oh, and because pictures are fun, this is the one they included in the article!

She told me on the phone how much she loved the ruffled styles!

Well, I'm just as happy as can be! I hope you all have a great holiday! I sure have a lot to be thankful for this year :-)

Welcome!

Hello there friends! This blog will be devoted to all things Abibi! Inspired by my recent endeavor to join The Boulevard at South End, I'm trying to branch out and keep you all updated with what's going on with Abibi. Hopefully more big things in the future for me to post about!
For now, I'll give you a glimpse at Abibi at The Boulevard! (thanks to the always amazing Uriah Baet for the photos!)

Almost done setting up at The Boulevard!

Potholders to match the aprons! I'm in love with my Xmas prints!

Abibi display on "Friends and Family Night" (and after a few sales)!

Hopefully if you're in the Charlotte area, you'll get the chance to stop into the store! There really is something for everyone and it's open 7 days a week!
