Cheers to a Fearless 2009!

Can you believe that we are preparing to usher in 2009 in only a few days? While 2008 was certainly a year of transition and reflection, I can honestly say that we are really looking forward to, as one of my friends so eloquently put it, "a fearless 2009".

I like to think about the opportunities that are born of change and have found that the time and a place for the fruits of our talents is the present. The holiday season was especially busy for Ruby's Whim and presented a number of opportunities that were beyond my expectations. The groundwork has been laid for an exciting year ahead that promises nothing short of truly exciting designs and innovations to our most popular lines.

I am deeply appreciative to our team, our loyal customers and the many people who have inspired me over the last year.

Here's to a fearless 2009!
