CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Whoo! Our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK this week picked up one of the *most amazing frames ever!!!!*

Kristin Millikan came in to Eye Spy in search of a new look. She was so much fun and had so much energy! We found two frames that looked wonderful on her! After taking some time to think on it and getting the opinion of friends and family, Kristin chose go to with this Theo Eyewitness frame. And really, even though she had another frame in mind, I think this was love at first sight.

When Kristin walked into the store, this frame saw her and was all "woo hoo hoo, I like you."


Congratulations Kristin!

Hey, speaking of THEO, we're having a THEO trunk show this weekend! Stop by the store on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7 between 11am and 5pm to check out the newest THEO styles! It's going to be SPECtacular!

A day in the life...

You may think that being an optician is a ho-hum kind of same-old same-old type of job. Well, let me tell you! At Eye Spy, we never know what the day will bring. Whether it's getting to see a whole stack of new frames, months before they're available in stores, or climbing right inside the display case to change a light bulb, every day brings something new.....wait. Did I just say, climb inside a display case?


Sure did.


Big hi-5 to Serina who took control of a body bending situation. While the elders among us were left rubbing our backs at our own attempt to lean in and change a bulb, young sprite Serina made like a contortionist and got to work.


See? Being an optician is super-exciting stuff!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK this week will be joining the Eye Spy family real soon, well, kind of... MATTHEW SIEFFERT is engaged to the lovely Miss Alex Blunt, a longtime customer of Eye Spy!

Matthew and Alex came in to the store last winter and tried on some awesome frames. Matthew kept these LAFONT frames in the back of his mind and as the wedding day got closer and closer, he found it was time to update his look before the big day!

It's true that Alex has great taste in more than glasses!

Congratulations, Matthew, on being our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK and on your upcoming (just around the corner) wedding!
