We’ve just gotten back from an amazing trip to the
Sundance Resort Trunk Show, coinciding with the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

Cindy and Avril with Brent Beck
We were incredibly lucky to stay with Brent Beck, who ran
the resort with Robert Redford and later started the catalog with him. We wanted to adopt him and his wife Fae
as an extra set of parents! They were so good to us. Among other things, Brent
is a fabulous cook! Made us gourmet breakfast every morning and soufflés for
dessert at night.
The Trunk Show was a wonderful
experience. We got to show a little
bit of everything – new pieces, one of a kind pieces, pieces from our holiday
collection. Gemstones, diamonds, the works.
Cindy and Avril showing Avindy pieces at the Trunk Show
We’ve always had a very special place in our heart for the
Sundance Catalog, since it led Avril to her initial interest in beading. Plus the celebrities were out in force: we saw Robert
Redford and Bill Gates!
You can see lots more pictures of the trip in our Facebook
album (including Redford and Gates).
