Fifi's really cool mom is one of my favorite people and when she found out that she was pregnant with a girl, she started hinting (and there were a lot of hints) that Little Ruby-ees would be perfect for her little bundle of joy. Of course Jill's little Fifi would be a Little Ruby-ee...some day, there was no question about it. It was only a matter of time before Fifi would be the right size for

It's official, the staff of Ruby's Whim has been awarded the use of a GM Fuel Cell vehicle until June. Michael has been working diligently at making a contribution to GM's Project Driveway forum and he really enjoys the new people and the impact that he can make in the development of the new technology and infrastructure expansion efforts.It's been a labor of love for him/us. It seemed like the

We have reached the end of an era...Hannah Bean will be closing its doors. Nicole and Christina have decided to pursue other opportunities and Ruby's Whim wishes them a bright and prosperous future.We enjoyed First Fridays and a wonderful boutique to showcase many of our designs. While we will miss our visits to Hannah Bean, Ruby fans can visit us and purchase our designs 24/7 at our online

At Ruby's Whim, we do our best to recycle and reuse items as much as possible. Recycling and reducing wasteful consumption has been our goal at work and at home over the last few years. A natural extension of these efforts combined with Michael's passion for new technology and cars brought him to the discovery of GM's Project Driveway.I can't begin to explain all of the details about this project

First Friday and our first trunk show for 2009 were a great success. Although it rained, quite heavily at times, a lot of people were out and stopped by Hannah Bean.The evening's festivities included a trunk show featuring Jenny Han and Tart fashions. Ruby's Whim jewelry was featured with the fashions and I must say, our Bonne Chance 500 Peso vintage poker chip necklace looked amazing with Jenny

Michael and I are really lucky because we have come to know some really smart and very interesting people. We met Ruby almost four years ago and she has been an endless source of inspiration, encouragement and humor on this journey. When I reflect on some of our conversations, I can't help thinking how fortunate we are to be able to turn a dream into an up-and-coming business that has already

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

We're all business...Ruby's Whim was featured in the Orange County Business Journal on Monday, December 1st. We're thrilled that the media has taken an interest in our jewelry.During the interview with OCBJ, I was asked about how we named our company and the significance of the name. That question resonated with me for several days, so I thought the blog would be a great place to share the Ruby

It was as an exhilarating week at Ruby's Whim. Last week, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the Orange County Business Journal. We're anticipating that the article will be published just before the Thanksgiving holiday or the following week. I'll post the link to the article when the publication date has been confirmed.Following the interview with OCBJ, we placed a few Ruby's Whim pieces
