My Glove Boutique

It all started in October 2008, well it really all started in 2005.  Not that I'm bitching but I got married and thought I was going to go that way BUT that didn't happen. So, as many of us do, we pickup or socks and get on down the road.
That road led me to trying to find a business that I was passionate for, yes for not about.  However now that I'm well into a glove boutique. . . I AM passionate for it.
I opened with more than 100 different styles of gloves from those that are hand made leather gloves from Italy; Sermoneta Gloves to those that are made in China gloves supplied from a couple of US fashion companies.
In a 300 square foot shop located  in a charming and quaint group of shops in Breckenridge, Colorado.  My new sign hung outside and it was my 50th birthday. Happy Birthday tome and Hand and Glove!!
 I thought to myself that many women are just retiring and I'm starting over. That thought spawn several feelings.

Yes I did all the research, where to put the shop, where to get the gloves, how am I going to survive the move after 30 years in one place. All that due diligence and research took a little over a year. That  being done there I was in my tiny little glove boutique Hand and Glove  just waiting for the customers.

October of 2008 is the day that my heart and mind was opened to humans from all parts of the globe that proceeded to share with me their stories of their "glove affairs" and from that time on I knew that gloves were profoundly more special than I had originally thought.  I knew they were the ultimate accessory and I knew they were warm and necessary at certain times of the year. But never in my projections did I know that I would meet such wonderful people.  So, here is my blog to share some stories, some pictures and some history of GLOVES
