Meet, Shop + Learn!

Thank you for a wonderful time yesterday. I am already petting my new fabrics! Please also thank Katina for being so generous with her time. I learned things that will help me with my fitting challenges. I look forward to seeing what everyone makes from the material they bought.

Hi Mimi,

I kept meaning to send you an email I kept forgetting. Wasn't able to come today due to an illness in the family. I am so bummed, and I hope you do it again sometime! Sorry for being a flakey RSVPer... :(

I'm so sorry, Mimi, but I just woke up! I was really looking forward to meeting you and connecting with you and your other fans! I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!

Great place to eat...food is pretty good, can get loud, the macaroons are the best in the city.

Okay Ladies, I will be at Bottega Louie in Downtown for dinner Friday night @ 7pm if you are joining me we will meet outside of Louie's at about 6:45pm or so its about $18 for a meal depending on how much you want... text me if you are coming 818-433-1737

I am in for lunch...will miss the macaroons at Bottega Louie.. Hey maybe we can pick some up for a snack. There are pretty inexpensive hotels in Pasadena. I am willing to give a ride to anyone staying in Pasadena or better yet, the Metro is a good way to go.

I'm in Michigan. I'm going to try to make it out.

Hi Patricia, I am Patricia Brown, a Michigander too! I now live in the Houston area!

For those checking in at the Miyako Inn. Here's the bus schedule that will take you to the Garment District. It's Bus #30: http://www.metro.net/riding_me…ages/030.pdf

Do you have any parking suggestions, for those who are local? Thanks.
