We received some exciting news for Avindy by way of some very sad news for one of Avindy's retailers. Everyone always likes to hear the good news first so we will start with that. Shania Twain bought some of our jewelry!!!!! We don't know when it was or what she bought, but we found out about it today when we read an on-line article about one of our retailers, Accessity, today.
And now for the not so good news: Accessity, an accessories boutique located in Ontario Canada and open for 32 years, has decided to close down shop. According to the article from thestar.com, Accessity has been host to tons and tons of Hollywood stars during its 32 years on the retail encumbered Bloot Street—including, but not limited to, stars such as Whoopi Goldberg, Halle Berry, Carol Burnett, Heather Locklear and Jennifer Love Hewit. Just like The Toronto Star article says, "Who didn't shop here?!"
 Owner, Oriella Stillo, wants to stress that it's not a bankruptcy issue. It's just that when she was asked to renew her lease for another 10 years, she wasn't so sure that she wanted to commit to the business for that length of time. Who can blame her? After 32 years of success, a woman is entitled to a nice retirement if she so chooses.
You should also know that Acccessity is having a going-out-of-business sale with items reduced from 30 to 70 per cent off. So, it seems we have made a little good news, bad news, good news sandwich—meaning there is more good news than bad, and for that we are happy! So, cheers to Oriella, her success and her retirement or whatever she so chooses to do with the rest of her life! We very much appreciate her loving Avindy enough to have it in her store and we also appreciate her mentioning us in her interview.
