What’s Going On

Happy 2008 Darling subscribers! We hope you are settling into the new year with style; we get the feeling it is going to be a very good year! One more big thank you to you all who voted us into second place for Best Social Shopping Site back in December - in Mashable.com’s Open Web Awards. We made some new friends and had a ton of fun at the Open Web Awards (click to find us!) out in San Francisco just a few days ago. Check it out, Trish is getting a few SMASHING stickers on Adam Hirsh, Community and Marketing Director of Mashable.com - well done Trish Darling!

What’s New

In San Fran, Trish and Julie had a visit to the hive, the Stylehive that is,as well as some time with Team Sugar. I was lucky enough to meet up with Tricia Royal, aka Bits and Bobbins. Great to meet you all and many thanks to Tricia for making sure I got to the San Fran institution Britex Fabrics. Four floors of texture galore; that alone would have made the trip worthwhile. Mo-Darling definitely left her heart in San Francisco.

The Darling’s rang the new year in, (after we recovered from the Mashable voting), with a lovely little article in New Haven’s PLAY magazine, take a look.

Coming Soon

Our birthday is coming soon, is someone out there going to bake us a cake?

Well, in the meantime and no matter where we are, Smashing Darling keeps on growing. Take a look around this page and the site for a few new Darling stores as well as some new looks for 2008 from designers who have already been SMASHing with us.
