One of our favourite parts of making and selling amazing clothes is the wonderful feedback that we sometimes get from people! Most recently we received an e-mail from Emira Mears, the amazing lady that co-wrote along with Lauren Bacon, the very awesome book
"The Boss of YOU- Everything a woman needs to know to start, run and maintain her own business." They were kind enough to feature Smoking Lily in their book, and now Emira owns a
Pool Hall dress! Here's a quote from her:
"...[I] wanted to tell you that I absolutely love it. Love it. I've recently had to say good bye to large chunks of my wardrobe due to my expanding waistline and it was such a breath of fresh air/relief to have something new and lovely to add to my wardrobe which should last me a good long while yet. So thank you. Thank you." -Emira
On top of all this, five of the studio girls have had to have one...It is not all that often that we all get the same thing! This dress comes in super soft new soft black bamboo, green, taupe and magenta cotton, and it's got an original Smoking Lily silk screen!
Turns out Cougar Annie is so awesome that
British Columbia Magazine did a little blurb about our Cougar Annie tees! (page 12 of the Fall 2009 issue) More and more people are coming in and asking for them, and rightfully so, as you can get her on pretty much any shirt we have! There is the orginal grey short sleeved woman's tee, men's shirt or boatnecks. We even do print your owns if you are itching to show Annie off on that super comfy hoody you have. Shown below is our Cougar Annie print.
Also, Sunday the 20th is Trish's Birthday! We just ate a delicious raspberry chocolate mousse cake to celebrate, Happy Birthday Trish!!
I'm not sure if everyone has seen this already or not, but late last week a customer in Vancouver informed us of a recent Globe and Mail article describing the serious financial trouble the not-for-profit society that currently owns Cougar Annie's estate has run into. We here at Smoking Lily just love Cougar Annie and the lovely people at the Boat Basin Foundation, so we were very sad to have heard this news. My first thought was, "Oh! Maybe we could do another fundraiser for them," but it sounds like the extent of the problem is a little more than awesome tee shirts can battle.
