Meet the NOON crew : San Diego, California

Last but not least on the meet and great train of Noon shops and its employees is on the west coast, where it all began in Ocean Beach, (San Diego) California.  Here you can find the mother ship of the Noon Shops on 4993 Niagara Avenue, and say hello to four friendly gals; Lauren (Manager and Jeweler, who will be leaving us in July to pursue her dreams at grad school, woo), Jen (future manager), Gina (shop gal and owner of Acute Designs), and Sarah (asst. manager).  Check out what these Noon gals are all about here:

.......................................................................

 

1. What are two of your favorite noon pieces? my favorite noon pieces are the classic champagne swarovski's, the wishbone necklace and my collection of both gold and silver bangles...in that order.   

2. Where are you from, and what is your astrological sign? I am from Chicago, Illinois.  My astrological sign is Virgo, but there is no way I'm really a Virgo; they are supposed to be detail oriented and organized.  If you've ever seen my desk, you know this isn't the case:) 

3. What do you like to do for fun? For fun I enjoy playing at the beach with the shop dog, Woody.  I can also be found practicing yoga and cruising on my bike around OB. 

4. Why do you love NOON?  Where do I even begin?  I initially fell in love with the story of how Maie and Nora began their business.  Two gals from the east coast doing exactly what they love and following their dreams.  It sounds cheesy, but it's really a modern day fairy tale.  I also love the natural and simple design of everything that Noon creates.  They are clever clever gals! 

5. Who is your favorite NOON neighbor?  Raglan Public House.  Sundays just aren't right without one of their bloody marys and an order of sweet potato fries!
