It seems like such a long time since last I wrote. My apology! I was preoccupied up by a couple of big fashion events here in Phoenix, Arizona. Allow me to share with you how it all went down.

Shortly after we promoted the Attapinya website with the Arizona Fashion Foundation, Attapinya was invited to participate in the show with Urban Affair Arizona on September 30, 2006. It was a pleasurable excitement to be one of only 17 designers in the show, all of whom we did not know. The show offered each of us a free booth to display and sell our products. Beginning with that generous offer, everything went just right; we were very surprised and thrilled to sell quite a lot of jewelry. The runway was fun, take a look at us here: cashakmagazine.com.

The first and second pictures are of our model, Christina Mitchell. It was such a delight to work with her; she is very kind, and takes her work seriously. Christina practiced very hard and did a great job on the catwalk. By the end of the day we all left with a happy-go-lucky feeling.

The second fashion show, called "Labelhorde Fashion", was on November 11, 2006 with the Arizona Fashion Foundation. It was a big runway show with almost 60 local designers participating. The guests of honor included many members of press, magazines, and publishers, so there was plenty of spicy publicity... all the better for us! Christina and I traded ideas and practiced over and over again before the show began. As you can see from the photos cashakmagazine.com, the practice really paid off and Christina rocked! Overall, This event was fun. There were so many different vibes in the air -- happy, nervous, curious, excited energies everywhere. We love it!

Attapinya also has a photo album from these two events to share with you all. Please visit Attapinya Private Album. Enjoy!!

Last but not least, Aphinya Deley will be going back to Thailand early next year to work on new jewelry and yoga bag designs. She will post them on the site as soon as they are ready.

We want to thank each and everyone of you again for your business, your support and your compliments. They mean so much to us. Take good care and have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones!! Until next time...

BYE!!
