after the busy holiday season a vacation was needed.
frances’ crew, sara and julie, headed overseas to tel aviv, israel
to get some fresh air and ideas from the enchanting city.
sipping coffees at cafes, snapping shots of all the street art
and riding bikes along the sea were definitely on the to-do list,
but boutique shopping was a must in a city filled with local shops and artists.
some of our favorites…
we had a great time with short leash hot dogs
and all our great customers
listening to jon rauhouse trio in the frances parking lot!
keep your eyes posted for a video of the fun event!
have you tried our dewars taffy?
it’s handmade in their ice cream parlor in california!
you wouldn’t want to miss out on all the delicious flavors.
stop by smeeks to enjoy dewars taffy.
my personal favorite… peanut butter
we’ve always had a thing for our frye boots but these frye wedges are a must have in every woman’s closet!
snatch them up while they’re available in frances.
Also pictured… our amazing fredd+basha bags, free people clothing, and various frances’ accessories.
come check them all out in our store!
the 10,oo0 women project is an inspiring, life-changing program. click the link below to learn more about it.
the u.s. department of state, goldman sachs and thunderbird school of global management have partnered to bring one of three international cohorts to arizona for two weeks of intensive business skill training.
these women have all started their own businesses and have been selected for this program to learn new skills and strategies to bring back to each country they represent.
this program is about collaboration, leadership, community, partnership, hard work and overall, making a difference and creating a better world.
we had the pleasure of attending the welcome reception.
28 women and 10 countries represented.
some of the goods we purchased at the reception.
