Fall 2008 Tano!

So what we have here is the new color Raspberry in the ever popular Boogie Bucket style. We ordered the Boogie in every color this time but as usual quantities are limited!

Above are the new Fall 2008 colors:licorice, truffle, mandarin, pomegranate, raspberry, blueberry, avocado. pineapple and grape (deep purple)-not shown.

We will be taking pre-orders this time on the new Tano colors in the Boogie Bucket and Shopper styles! As you know we don't have much control over when we receive these little lovelies but we have a great history of receiving everything we order. Be patient and your Tano will come!

If you see a Tano you would like to Special Order just let us know and we will try to grab that baby for you!

Hot Time, Summer in the City

Back of my neck gettin'....oh you should know the rest. Unless of course you are under 30 then maybe not so much. Well here is the train of thought....it is really hot outside already and it is summer and a whole bunch of us Finches went to see Sex in the City last week.

I have to say I personally did not love the movie. It was ok but very predictable and very full of product placement. And I love product placement! But oh the fashion was great! I have always thought that the fashion in the show was a bit over the top-at least on Carrie. Never anything you would see on a daily basis in NYC. Maybe every once in a while but definitely not with the frequency Carrie gave us.

And who could believe she could afford that apartment and those shoes! I can tell ya that the digs she had ran her an easy $3500 a month at the least. And the new place she and Big find in the movie, not even near 'the normal people can fathom' range. Across from the Met on 5th Ave? We are talking many, many millions. But oh the fashion!


The hair accessories alone would make you salivate. So you know this little beauty? It reminds me of this little guy we had at the store. And then Samantha has on this cool necklace that reminds me so much of Jan Michaels (new shipment arriving mid June!). But alas the fashion is beyond many of our humble Tano budgets. Who need Louis V when you can have a Tano anyway!

Speaking of Tano check in for a post about the new fall colors soon!

OOOhhh, New Goodies!

The Abas framed clutch is quickly becoming a staff favorite.

We received a brand new shipment today!

Where did that month go?

Do you ever have those missing packets of time that utterly confuse you? Well the month of May was lost somewhere between a big ole trip to NYC and the end of the school year!

First of all NYC was a super fun time. Sarah went with the Boss Finch and I to the Accessories Show and a few clothing shows. We had a great time because there was great stuff to tempt us. This trip was all about late summer transitional clothing and the beginnings of fall. We ordered the ever popular Tulle Vintage Wool Coat in a variety of new colors. Get ready for rich jewel tones like Raspberry, Blue, Gold, Red and Brown. The great jewel tones carried over into the leather goods too! Tano will be bright this Fall! Raspberry, Grape, Red, Yellow and Blue dominated the color palette of our friends from Spain. Hobo International is on the same bandwagon with a remarkably similar color palette. Look for all of those to arrive at the end of July (yes wool coats in July but we have to take them when we can get them!).

No major star sightings this time except for Mariska Hargitay with her little family outisde of ABC Carpet and Home. Sarah and i did have a great Cinco de Mayo with our friends from Baked Beads, David and Laura. Check out the view from this roof top deck. David has a friend with this lovely condo overlooking Midtown and the Hudson River. If you squint real hard and zoom in you can see the Statue of Liberty behind us.

And then all of a sudden it was the end of May! I have a little chicken that just finished her first year of school. She loved it and we loved her teacher, her school, her new friends...well everything was just delightful. But that last month was a killer! So many activities and not enough time!

But here we are in the midst of summer. I am taking advantage of Summer Hours and Sarah is doing a great job running the show. I did take the time to order a great new selection of Zina Kao necklaces and new stock from a few other popular friends. Look for new goodies soon!

Summer at the Finch will be quite exciting!
