Congratulations to Jamie, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!
Jamie bought glasses at Eye Spy several months ago and then returned to his home in…Mexico! We asked him to send us a picture so we could vicariously live through the warm weather during our Chicago winter. Well, wouldn’t you know, Jamie sent us a pic just in time for a March snowstorm!
We love these frames on Jamie and we love that he made us all smile on a snowy day!
Congratulations Jamie, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Filed under: Lafont, NEWS!
Lafont has been decorating the faces of
myopes,
hyperopes, and
presbyopes for over 80 years!
Lafont eyewear has a beautiful and timeless style and to celebrate that fact, they’ve brought back several of their classic designs as part of the
Lafont reedition line.
I just couldn’t contain my joy at the constant arrival of more and more Lafont reedition frames at Eye Spy. I was so enamored, I had to write a poem, I hope Elizabeth Barret Browning doesn’t mind:
Oh, Lafont Reedition, how do I love thee, let me count the ways
I love thee to the keyhole bridge and generous lens height
My soul can see, I never feel without sight
For the eyes you provide such grace
I love thee ‘cuz you balance out my big, round face
I need you morning, noon, and night
I love thee freely, I know you’re all right
I love thee purely, your sunglasses protect from uv rays
I love thee for your style and practical use
You give me no grief, you’re the bee’s knees
Oh boy, Lafont reedition frame I hope I don’t lose
My nifty cat-eye glasses, we go together like wine and cheese
You handmade objects of well-crafted design, it’s you I choose.
Lafont reedition frames, I’ll take one in each color, please

I am often asked, “How do you choose the Customer of the Week?”
The answer is a complicated formula that looks kind of like this:
But without the 1.
This week, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK is Marny!!!
Marny loved the shape of this
Theo frame, but wasn’t sure about the colors that we had in the store. No problem, we were able to go online and access the Theo frame catalogue where we could show Marny the many (many many) colors available for this frame. We chose two colors and ordered the frames in so Marny could try them on before making a final decision on her awesome new specs!
It’s like Goldilocks, but with eyeglasses. Because this frame is JUST RIGHT
Congratulations, Marny! You’re our Customer of the Week!
