Chicago Buying Trip

Lynn and I leave for Chicago on Sunday morning for four days of buying and planning.
These buying trips are fun,exciting and very taxing on the mind and body.

This is our chance to find new and unusual items to feature at Vogel's & Foster's!
It easy to find the fantastic item that would retail at $600 or more. The trick is to find the cool new items that have excellent quality and a reasonable price.

We have much of our 2010 marketing plan nearly ready but we will work on it much more over the next few days while we are away from the store. Look for some creative new happenings this year.

We will be celebrating 100 years of Vogel's & Foster's with a very FUN year.

Thank You for your patronage.

The best is yet to come.

Molly's Monday Memo from Sherpani
Molly' s Pick: The Verona in Java.
Why? "This bag, new for Spring '10, just arrived and I've been excited about getting to use it since I saw the prototype! It's a very stylish shape and I love the wasabi leather accents on the corners. I bring it to work and take it out on the weekends when I feel like a larger statement bag. True to Sherpani, the fashion does not negate the function. The lining is bright, so I have no trouble finding my keys if they've fallen to the bottom. The Verona also has a side panel of organization (pen holders, iPod pocket, credit card slots) and an interior zippered security pocket."

Sherpani Blaze Duffle Action Shot

Going from work to play is simple with the Sherpani Blaze Sport Duffel Backpack. Just the right size for carrying your gym, sport, or dance accessories from home to work to the gym. The Blaze Duffel has straps if you want to use it as a backpack or tuck the straps in and use the shoulder strap or handles to carry it from where you are to where you need to be.

This spring will make one full year of Vogel's & Foster's carrying Sherpani Bags. The new Spring shipment should be arriving soon. Let us know about your experiences with Sherpani Handbags.
