A Unique Find

Good afternoon my lovely friends! What a beautiful, sunny day to help melt the many inches of snow we have endured this winter. Given that I have been cooped up indoors for the past few weeks due to the uncooperative weather, I really have no excuse for not writing sooner. My apologies.

Our holidays were gorgeous. Were yours? I very much hope so.

Alfred and I visited our beloved relatives in New England. We first embarked on a trip to the land of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys where we spent one of the most quaint Christmases I can remember. Several generations gathered over several days to celebrate. We consumed too much food and imbibed too many libations and, dare I say, had almost too much fun.

We then headed south to Boston and visited with the doyenne of my family - my sprightly yet fragile grandmother. She prefers the crisp ocean air of Massachusetts and has chosen to spend her later years there, enjoying her dreams of New York. Alas, she is definitively aged, but in her own most indomitable way.

I am writing today because I wanted to share a wonderful story about one of our recent Dunn & Overwith clients. A delightful young man who had ventured west inquired about our securing a unique necklace that he desired. The necklace, shown to the left above, is only sold in the United States at a store in Manhattan called Topman.

Our client described the necklace to us and was even resourceful enough to provide the assigned Topman item number. We went to the Topman store, which is on Broadway south of Houston Street, and asked one of the exceedingly modern-styled sales associates for assistance in finding the necklace. Voila! We matched the item number we had from our client to that of the necklace and were on our way. A Dunn & Overwith package arrived in California at our client's home a few days later with his necklace. He was overjoyed and so pleased that he was able to purchase this item despite living almost three thousand miles away from the nearest Topman store.

Just another example of how Dunn & Overwith can be of assistance.

Unit my next post, I remain steadfastly yours,

Marjorie Overwith
