ALL WHITE : BOLD COLORS

It's always an exciting thing for me to meet new people.  And nothing is better than connecting with someone who shares the same passions and values as you.  Boy did I hit "friend jackpot" with Adrienne Nixon of Adrienne's Essentials!  A simple conversation on Instagram lead to an in person meet.  What better place to get to know one another than at the fabric store?  And for these two girls, I don't think there could not have been a better place to talk fabric, fashion and eventually food!.....Mmmmmm,,,  I think by lunch we had both decided in our own minds that we COULD BE real friends now!!!  .......So what do you think happens when two artistic minds join and challenge each other's creative boundaries??  **MAGIC**  Connect with us as THE GREY BUTTON and Adrienne's Essentials lead up to our BIG Memorial Day reveal!!!!

I had such a good weekend that I am still in a super spirits!  I remember working at VZW and not being happy.  I already knew what I wanted to do in life.  Design!!  I could see myself being so happy creating things and sharing it with people.  So to bring my dreams into focus I started to bring my sketchbook to work and started designing.  I was determined to acheive happiness.  A couple of my co-workers took interest and I recall some of them saying, "Nadia, when you get big, I am going to come work with you!"  I'm not sure if at the time they really believed that it could happen, but I know I did!  I can honestly say that my old Verizon Wireless family has done nothing but shown me love and support from the beginning and I am sooooo very thankful for them!  They were some of my first customers and still show their support.

Fast forward, three years removed from the corporate world and I have reconnected with an old  co-worker and friend, Ms. Vera.  When I got back in town I called her up to see how she was doing.  And to my surprise her work situation has also changed and allowing her a bit more free time and more than anything happiness.  Now I must say... we make a great team.  This past weekend she was my partner in crime as I went out promoting THE GREY BUTTON.  It means the world to me to have people like Vera by my side rooting me on along this journey.  We met some amazing ladies.....and men, who were all open and excited to listen to me pitch our brand to them and with the support of their purchases we added a bunch of people to the button family!  Here are some pics from a few of the places we went to!  I have to get better at remembering to take pictures.  I LOVE going back and flipping through them but unfortunately I don't have a lot this time!!
