Exciting Changes for PLB 2019!

Hi everyone!! My name is Stephanie and I'm the new owner of Penelope Lane Boutique!  A lot of you may already know me as a fellow vendor and the face behind Brussels Dog Boutique + Barkery (this pic was taken pre bangs..lol) but to those of you meeting me for the first time...HELLO!  Whether you're a loyal, long time shopper of PLB or a previous vendor from past markets, I look forward to meeting you all!
Now a little bit about me! Nearly 5 years ago I left the office life to pursue the crazy idea of having a pop up shop dedicated to dogs and the humans who love them!  From my first show at a high school fundraiser to being a featured vendor at Pottery Barn and everything in between big and small, I still have a passion for what I do and love living that "vendor life"!  I've also been fortunate enough to have participated in over 12 Penelope Lane Boutique markets since I first started my shop and it's always been one of my most favorite shows to be a part of!  So to say it's an honor to take the reins as the new owner of PLB is an understatement!  Of course I have to say a big "THANK YOU" to Nancy Smith and her daughters who founded PLB in 2012 and who've been super supportive and so gracious!  I'm also extremely grateful to Nancy for having the confidence in me to carry on the Penelope Lane Boutique name!
Now for the even BIGGER NEWS!  Penelope Lane Boutique SPRING MARKET is officially set for SUNDAY APRIL 14th 2019!!! Yaaasss!!  I'm also super excited to announce that PLB will be back at......THE GRAND in Long Beach, CA!!  Exciting right??  We'll be posting more details on our 2019 Spring Market soon and for vendors, applications will be available here on our blog starting FRIDAY, JANUARY 4th, 2019!
Whew! That was a lot!  Lol!  To be perfectly honest, I'm a bundle of excitement, nerves, anticipation and energy as I continue planning for what I hope will be one of the best Spring markets of 2019!  But I'm also 100% committed and ready to give this my all! I hope you're as excited as I am!!  I can't wait!!
