Go Silver Boot & DULCE Holiday Show

During this time of year there is nothing more likely to bring back blissful childlike euphorics then playing in a back yard full of snow...except for playing dress-up in big sis's closet while she is away...at least if you're a girl ;) This describes the fun we had last night during the show. Despite all of the holiday party competition around town, Peridot had a successfully fun night! This is largely contributed to the crowd that seems to follow Liza and Go Silver Boot. Her fan base is a combo of girly-girls, fashion sensible men and warm fuzzy very talented family members. Thanks to everyone who attended the show last night! Until next time. Happy Holidays....pics to follow soon !!!

p.s. for those of you who missed out, we still have DULCE Sweet Accessories in the store. Beautiful accessories for play, work & travel handmade in Seattle and California. Great for holiday gifts too!!! Come check it out!
