1. What was your inspiration behind opening your children’s clothing store – Periwinkle Place?
Rob & Elisa: We have always been in the fashion industry in various positions, but since we love kids, this seemed to be the natural place to be. No matter the age, gender, or temperament of the child – we think they are all great!
2. Tell us about any special events that you have planned at your store this summer and fun deals we can expect.
Rob & Elisa: We are located in a small New Hope village that offers entertainment and festivals throughout the summer. Fireworks will be displayed in the Village as part as the 4th of July celebration. Our store will be also be participating in the festivities by offering awesome sales on summer merchandise. The store is also planning a special event which will feature the designers of our hair bow and jewelry, so our customers can choose from an even greater selection of these accessories.
3. Describe the neighborhood of your store in New Hope, Pennsylvania where your store is located. Did you grow up in the local area?
Rob: New Hope is a friendly charming town featuring art galleries, specialty shops and innovative restaurants. I grew up about 45 minutes from this area, but visited it often, as it was always an enjoyable outing for my family and me.
4. Summer break from school for kids is just around the corner. What are 3 vacation clothing must-have items that are in your store for summer?
Rob & Elisa: Bathing suits and cover ups, great summer play wear, cool looking summer hats are Periwinkle Place’s must haves for the summer! A summer vacation cannot be complete without these items.
5. Where are your favorite family hangouts in the New Hope area?
Rob & Elisa: Peddlers Village is one of my favorite hangouts in the summer. It is a sprawling country area with unique shops and fun activities.
6. Tell us…before you “had kids or grandkids, what is one thing you swore you’d never…?” Please share!
Robert: I never thought I would actually monitor the length of my daughter’s skirt when she goes on a date!
7. Tell us about a “special” moment that made your day working at your store.
Rob & Elisa: A baby trying on a Christening outfit is very moving. To be involved in a child’s first rite of passage is meaningful to us.
8. If you were stuck on a tropical island this summer with your kids, what would be the 3 things you would pack to keep the looking “stylish”?
Rob & Elisa: Cool hair accessories, colorful cover-ups and stylish footwear would certainly make a fashion statement to the island’s natives.
Le Top "Heart’s Delight" Beach Dress with flower embellishment and matching bathingsuit
9. What collection or piece from Le Top or Le Top Baby line or Rabbitmoon do you love from the Spring/Summer 2011?
Rob & Elisa: The Le Top “Poppy” Collection and Rabbitmoon’s “Reflection” and “Terrapin” Collections are our favorites for this summer. However, I think the other collections were just as appealing as shown by our customers’ purchases!
