Andi’s People were born during my sophomore year of high school. Their legs grew longer, their smiles, bigger, and their personality, more endearing.
When I moved to Hawaii after college, my boy with flip-flops and an aloha shirt adorned the front of a ‘mahalo’ note sent back home to family and friends in Boston.
Throughout a career in the hotel/travel industry, Andi’s People stayed, for the most part suppressed in the rear of my imagination, taken out for fleeting glimpses including a meeting with Nick Ashley of “Laura Ashley” in London.
Now I have three children and a husband. At a mom’s creative night at my daughter’s preschool, Berrybrook, in 2000, I felt an uncontrollable urge to create … and an Andi’s People girl holding a giant sunflower emerged. That was the beginning.
Now in our 8th year, Andi’s People continue to make me smile as they spread a blanket of warmth and simplicity nationwide.
Andi’s People 2012 One World One Smile collection offers over 80 ‘multiculti’ designs, note cards,stationery, greeting cards, a unique, limited edition birthday/anniversary calendar and artwork. Ageless in appeal. Designed to delight. They simply make you smile.
