I met Tatum at LA’s Thread Show… what a gem! Not only were her selections ultra-unique, but she was such a warm, personable, and attentive soul… even when mobbed by throngs of shoppers. After doing some early holiday shopping, I could not get some of her Agate stones(from Brazil) out of my mind. 2 hours later, i went back to see her and ended up buying some luxurious(but moderately priced!) items for myself(2 gorgeous necklaces) – not the norm, I promise! There was just something about them that were symbolically meaningful to me… as well as a nice reminder about how our created world is so full of wonderful beauty. I wish her all the best! She’s going to do great. I’m sure of it :)
