New Year, New Beginnings

First of all, we want to take this opportunity to say that we hope everyone had a great holiday season and wish everyone a very happy new year, may all of you have a peaceful and successful progression through life in 2010! Speaking of which, we would love to hear about your New Year’s Resolutions or “Best Of” lists regarding the last decade or year, share with us on our Facebook page!

Moving on, I have to concur with what Mike said in our previous blog post, running a business is definitely a learning experience. Roughly 7 months into this new chapter in our lives… it’s quite apparent that running a business is very much a full time job, more-so than we thought going into this.. It seems that new things get added to our to-do lists that we never saw coming… and juggling these things along with our day jobs and my classes is simply overwhelming at times. BUT, what can we say? We love what we’re doing here at PeaceLine Clothing, we love the people, we love the art, we love the culture and we’re very passionate about what we’re creating. So, all in all we can’t complain that our to-do lists sometimes run into the early morning, but we will say that in the new year we’re going to try and stay in closer contact with all of you, keeping you more up-to-date with what’s going on here at PeaceLine Clothing through our blog. However, if you want to stay more up-to-date with what’s going on at PeaceLine Clothing, then you should become a fan on our Facebook page, there you can catch our Music Mondays, occasional Creative Thursdays, and simply what’s going on in our neck of the woods.

In regards to what’s going on here at PeaceLine Clothing, we’re very proud to announce that the Toy Drive for Kosair Charities was a success. Now, first off, we have to admit that we got beat out by bureaucracy in our quest to team up with a local store, that and the fact that we’re still an extremely young company. However, through some personal connections, we were able to find a group of girls that believed in our cause and were willing to help out. The Zeta Chapter of Delta Omicron at the University of Louisville were willing to hold a Chili Cook Off in order to raise money, and as a result they were able to make a sizable donation to our fund, which in its entirety went towards the purchasing of toys for Kosair Charities, just in time for Christmas Day. We want to extend a very appreciative Thank You to these girls, who went out of their way to raise money for a very worthy cause once they heard what we were doing, and in the process brought a lot of smiles to children who unfortunately had to spend the holidays in the hospital. All in all, we were able to donate an amazing amount of toys, and though it didn’t reach the size we originally envisioned, we have to call this a success.

Looking towards this new year, I’m proud to say that we have a lot of things in the planning stages. I won’t give any specifics just yet, but know that we are networking with new artists and musicians both locally and nationally, planning on expanding to different cities, looking to expand our inventory past clothing and working on our spring line. Between all of this, we’re staying pretty busy. And like I said, we’re going to try to keep everyone more up to date in the new year via more blog posts. However, you can always check out our Facebook page for updates, Music Mondays and the occasional Creative Thursdays.

Peace and Much Love,
