Happy Mother's Day to Two Extraordinary Women!

by on ‎05-08-2013 11:54 AM

With mother's day this coming Sunday, I wanted to pay a tribute to my mother Shirley. Although she is no longer with us, I miss her and think of her each and every day and I would not be who I am today without her love and support.



Growing up on Long Island, my mother was always involved in both mine and my brother's activities. She enrolled me in piano and ballet classes and was even my girl scout troop leader! She was the kind of person who always supported my brother Joel and me no matter what we did.




When I became a mother myself, she was always there for me and proved to be the most caring and loving grandmother I could ask for.


When I started the Susan Graver line with my mother-in-law Audrey - another extraordinary woman - and partnered with QVC, not only did she give me the utmost encouragement, she watched all of my shows and would give me her honest feedback. We spoke after every show. Although she lived in Florida at the time, she taped every single show of mine and mailed it to me in New York!


She loved to wear and brag to her friends about my designs and was ecstatic that she could wear the same pieces that I wore. In many ways it has come full circle and now my daughter, Jaclyn, loves to snatch some of my Susan Graver pieces to wear and style her own way.



My top above is A201893 and stay tuned for a gorgeous NEW version of the scarf top Jaclyn is wearing this June!


Do you have any Susan Graver pieces that you share with your mother or daughter? How are you spending your Mother's Day?


Please join me this Thursday, May 9th at 9am ET and Sunday, May 12th at 10pm ET for fashion and fun!


xoxo,


Susan
