From the Desk of A.J. - Unique L.A.


So…we are sooooooo excited to announce that Pinky Swear Designs has been accepted to the UNIQUE LA gift show. What’s UNIQUE LA you ask? Here’s the 411…

Last year a fabulously creative gal (founder Sonja Rasula) who is a do-er not just a talker, put together a gift show featuring up and coming artisans. She got loads of fabu people to support her (uhm…Etsy, Barefoot Wine, Oh Snap…I can go on and on) and she brought together about 300 vendors in the winter and spring and brought said artisans goods to the mass of shoppers...and I mean shoppers, who are the ones who get the "steal this look from the streets" pics into the mags. (*shhhh* one of Oprah's editors was seen at the Spring show looking for "her favs"...and tons of celebrities...I'm just sayin').

Held in downtown LA in a glorious penthouse (hello…just under 10,000 sq ft!)…you can shop your heart out…and know that your moolah will be going to private, struggling entrepreneurs who are taking over the world…one creative juice at a time. I love, love, love, that there are more and more platforms for us small business owners to strut our stuff, side by side , and really make a statement.

UNIQUE LA will have a lounge, (yep…for all you alchies…the beer and wine is FREE), café (snack time anyone?) , craft room ( compliments of ETSY…for kids and kids at heart), green room (for all eco-friendly merchandise), women’s, men’s, and baby sections for you to shop…along with new food lines, stationary, and accessories of course…really…you name it…and you can buy it here ( All while listening to some kick ass music provided by an onsight DJ). What a great way to get all your holiday shopping done. Also…prices are from A to Z…so your wallet…however big or small…will be happy.

It will be the weekend of Dec. 5th and 6th. Tickets will go on sale shortly (oh...did I mention...they'll be about $5-$10 bucks...but all goes to charity , we'll keep you posted) so mark your calendars…even though this will be the first of many reminders:)

Again…we are super excited and honored to be chosen as their “best of the best” vendors…we think we’re unique and awesome…but it sure is a great feeling when someone else thinks it too;)
