and it feels like home

Oh New York New York...How I have a love/hate relationship with you. I love that you can have 7 different restaurants on one tiny street, and that you can buy a dozen of roses on the street for 5 bucks at 5 am. (which, to agree with my friend Ren, gives guys 0 excuses not to buy flowers) However, I do not miss people stepping on you and not even realizing they did it... After leaving Chicago and visiting New York, I am that much more certain that Charleston is an amazing home for me!
After coming back from my first trade show I learned SO much. I was very scared that I was going to want to buy everything at the show. And sure, there were a lot of great stuff that I wish could fit the budget of my customers. However, narrowing down was easier than I thought. I was able to find about 15 vendors out of hundreds. I think they will work very well for Sugar Snap Pea and I hope you all will agree when you see the amazing products in August. In the meantime, the big headache of the moment is finding that perfect spot for the store. Between the perfect location, much needed small space and enough foot traffic, Im hoping the perfect one will just appear :)

Until that perfect space finds me, I wanted to leave you with some wonderful images of my new home town-Charleston, South Carolina.

    Zhenya, I'm so excited for you--the life you are creating for yourself will be a happy and fulfilling one.

    Did you take those pictures yourself? If so, may I ask what type of camera you used--they are lovely!

    I wish I could take credit for the photos, but all were found on google images. However Charleston is just that pretty :)
