BonJour, Mes Amis (Good Day, My Friends – especially you children),

My name is Lulu. I am a French Bulldog (therefore the name Lulu) and I work at Dharma & Leopold’s with my Mom. You may have met me at the store running around with your shoe while you were trying on new ones…I love to do that, you know.

You’ll notice that the store is named Dharma and Leopold’s. I just don’t understand why it isn’t named Lulu and Leopold’s but I guess that wouldn’t be fair to my sister, Dharma who has been there from its beginning. Since renaming the store is not an option, I’ve decided to make a name for myself by creating a blog for you instead. I want you to tell your Mom’s and Grandmother’s about all the great things that are happening here at the store.

We are over the moon about our new charm bracelets from Carlo Biagi KIDZ in high quality 925 Sterling Silver, glass, enamel and initials beads.  This new concept comes straight from their Italian designers so you can have a charm bracelet like your Mom.

Carlo Biagi KIDZ hand crafted designs resemble the original Carlo Biagi Italian Bead Bracelet concept but incorporates a stylish childrens design. These smaller beads range in a variety of children oriented designs such as a flowers, sun, hearts etc..

Come in and design you new bracelet now and start that wish list for the Holidays!

I can't wait for you to see the store all decorated for Christmas - we had to do it early because No. Virginia Magazine is doing a photo shoot here next week for the December issue where we will be featured as a Favorite Boutique!   Ooh lala I need to get my Holiday Collar out!

Till next time.....aurevoir!
