Customers have often remarked to me how much "fun" it must be to go to market to select the merchandise that we sell at Crystal's. We sponsored a "Shadow A Buyer for a Day" Contest and the winner was: Roxie Brown Rescue, CA Roxie, Bobbi and I traveled to the Concourse Convention Center in San Francisco on Sunday, October 21st.
We left Cameron Park around 8 AM and arrived just after 11:30 AM with a stop for a light breakfast (and coffee) along the day. Roxie got her first look at how a buyer works with the sales reps and makes impulse decisions on what merchandise is needed sometimes six months in advance.
We brought some Spring weight jackets and just wait and see the adorable leather-like jacket and three quarter length rain jacket that Roxie picked out. She purchased the socks which have already arrived at the store and some wonderful knitted scarves and chenille gloves that will be great Christmas stocking stuffers!

Customers have often remarked to me how much "fun" it must be to go to market to select the goods we sell and how they would love to be able to go. Well, here is your chance to win just such a trip!
Roxie Brown won the trip to shadow Crystal !!!!!
Roxie was a delight and her taste in clothes was so great that I may have to hire her to be a permanent buyer for the store! We had so much fun with this contest --- watch for another opportunity in the feature. Your friends will be sooooo jealous.
