Have a Golden Weekend!

The weekend is here, along with the ending of the 2012 Olympic Games (and the Lewis staff wearing red, white and blue to work everyday)! We've had a wonderful time keeping up with games, dressing for the games and coming up with blog posts about the Olympics. So here's one last post to kick off the weekend and the last days of the 2012 Olympics!

• Here's an interview with Houston's Golden Girl, Marlen Esparza on winning the Bronze Medal and some of her pre-flight superstitions!
• Did you know this is London's third time to host the Olympic Games? Ever wonder how each year compares with the other?
• I have to admit... my favorite re-cap of the Olympic Games came from Vanity Fair.
• USA Gymnast, Mckayla Maroney made jaws drop with her vault!
• Olympians, then and now.

We're learning to grow at Lewis!

This morning we had one of the most colorful Breakfast for Champions I've ever been to! This month we talked about how to "Grow your Garden", thus we had a garden themed breakfast complete with gardening gloves, packets of seeds and even the cutest watering can you've ever seen. Our dear friend Joni was the guest speaker and she talked to the sales team about growing as a sales person. She gave them some good insight on how to be a successful personal shopper for their clients. I was also asked to give a talk about how to market yourself. When I was asked to do this I got all excited and even created a logo specifically for our talk! (see above!) All in all, it was a beautiful breakfast about how to grow as a sales person and thinking outside of the seed packet when it comes to marketing yourself!

Kimberly and Wendy created the set up.

Look at how those colors pop against the cobalt blue table cloth!

By the way, Cobalt Blue is TOTALLY in right and I'm really digging it!

 Wendy started off our breakfast with a recap of last month's meeting about Moneyball.

Here's the cutest watering can you've ever seen!

The goodies that are going to help us grow!

A Peek Inside Roberto Coin's Factory

Last week Cindy and Slade traveled across the world to Vicenza, Italy to visit the Roberto Coin Factory! Vicenza is known as The City of Gold... how appropriate! (Vicenza is knows for its goldsmith craftmanship!)  Roberto Coin founded the company in 1977, but it wasn't until 1996 that the Roberto Coin brand was launched and gained quick success. Headquarters are located in Vicenza so the opportunity to visit is one that Cindy and Slade couldn't pass up! Here are some pictures from their visit:

Yes, that's gold!

 Here's your future Roberto Coin piece! 

Setting Diamonds...

 Here's Cindy and Roberto Coin!

 How interesting is this jewelry sketch by Roberto Coin? Look at all the details!

Here's a view of the pool at their hotel. Anybody else have the sudden urge to swim??

And it wouldn't be an Italian trip without some beautiful scenic photos of Venice, Verona and Vicenza!

Mother's Day Commercial

Our new Mother's Day Commercial airs today in the Houston area! We are SO excited to share it with you since it's our first commercial at our new location. And even more importantly, it's the first commercial we've done that features our very own customers! 

For Mother's Day we thought Heather and Nancy would be perfect since they have such a special bond and a tradition that involves jewelry! 

Here are a few behind the scenes pictures from the shoot! It was a long, but fabulous day! 

One of the best parts about doing a testimonial commercial without a script is the great outtake footage!
