What a difference a month makes

Drizzle & Shine has been open for almost five weeks. It seems like just yesterday, but it also seems like I've been doing this all my life. I've been making friends with regulars and restocking popular items.

I've learnt that Seattleites love dark clothing. For every colorful piece I carry, I'm asked if it comes in black. And just when I think I know what people like, I'm surprised again. Our most popular items this week are multicolored reversible skirts and tie dyed tunics.

I continue to learn from customers so I can carry the colors, styles, and sizes they want. I'm working hard to source more petite clothing and more plus size clothing. Many manufacturers seem to think only "average sized" people shop for clothes!

If you've visited, thank you for your support. If you haven't been in yet, drop by and say hello. I'll probably be here, but I have two part-time employees so I have the help I need to balance my life and take time off. Introduce yourself to them when you see them. They're great!

Thanks to all of you who have shared on social media, told your friends about us, checked in, rated us, or generally spread the word. It makes a huge difference. I appreciate it!
