Dear Susan,

The moment I read your farewell love letter, something leapt inside my heart. I am moved by your courage and grace in releasing that which you nourished for thir ty-seven years. I have a felt sense that the beauty you created endures, and I feel called to steward your brand forward into the future.

Your vision of beauty and creative drive as an artist and entrepreneur has long spoken to me. As a seasoned business owner of twenty-eight years in both the wholesale and retail environment, I appreciate what it takes to create success at every level. And I have an in credible, creative team who are as excited as I am about the potential for this ad/venture.
