thanks to robber for your love & support of independents like me

i still remember clearly my feelings of elation & joy on this day back in fall of 2011, at the end of the shoot, i asked eriver if he could take this photo of me w/ the model bryana, (w/ me having to climb on a milk crate). the day really gave me enormous hope & optimism for my shop, & my attitude was sink or swim. this was first time that i had ever worked w/ a real photographer, a real model& in an actual studio space. I was putting everything into this moment & truly if it wasn't for robber (erin & robin) lending me the clothes on that day there was no way any of this could have happened or would have resulted in one of the best memories of a day that kept me on track & focused on thinking i could really make a go of it.

this wasn't even the first time that robber supported me & helped to build my confidence in my skills, they have always been behind me, even being the first boutique in toronto to stock my knits every year! I even shot the first photos for newly renamed good night, day (formerly yarnovermovement) in the robber shop one summer day, while it was open, being a huge hassle w/ lighting set up all day w/ stephanie & i styling w/ all outfits from from robber. all due to their sincere generosity in helping out an independent designer.

So, at this time, you may have heard the news that robber is closing, & even with this news erin took the time to wish me the best & send me a personal note prior, that was full of continued support & friendship, can you even imagine how sweet that is.
