It is nice to hear stories of folks who had their stuff together and were in the right place at the right time. <br />I have a law-school friend who is trying to start her own ice cream company. She is an AMAZING cook who is a big proponent of locally grown, natural food. She has a vision, and I hope that I can say I ate her food back when. <br />http://www.westsidecreamery.com/<br /><br />It can happen - you just gotta be prepared when the perfect opportunity comes. <br /><br />SCSUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261556610653423999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-59692265492244555582010-04-21T16:43:41.709-07:002010-04-21T16:43:41.709-07:00I read in some fashion magazine recently that the ...I read in some fashion magazine recently that the girl who started Alice + Olivia clothing just made herself a pair of pants out of some cool striped fabric and happened to walk into Lisa Kline in LA wearing them. The boutique owner was there, LOVED the pants, placed an order on the spot,then somehow an extremely wealthy guy (I think dealing with Barneys) approached her, and offered to back her. The rest is history. That might not all be exact...but that is the gist of what I remember from the article!
