At work, when you talk on the phone every day to a person you’ve never met, you tend to get curious about what that person is like in real life. Well, maybe you don’t, but we here at Luscious Verde are a specific breed of character. Perhaps it’s the drinking water from the pristine Cuyahoga River. Perhaps it’s the fact that we’re obsessed with Project Runway. Or, probably, it’s because we’re all a little bit weird. Not in a bad way, mind you, but it takes a specific kind of person to deal with the highs and lows of custom stationery.
And we realized, hey, we talk to people every day who we’ve never met, and who are fans of our work. But just talking to them isn’t enough. We’re curious about their trials and tribulations, their outlook on life, and their favorite alcoholic beverage. So we’ve decided to feature, every few weeks or so, a retailer of our products that we want to get to know a little better. Behold the second entry into our illustrious Retailer Spotlight: Elise from No Regrets in Newton, Massachusetts.
Name: Elise Cherny
Where were you born and raised? Sharon, Massachusetts.
When did you start in custom stationery? 1988 – can’t believe it’s been 20 years!
For God’s sake, why? My mother started the business. When she passed away, my father said, “Try it. If you don’t like it, toss it.” What was I thinking?
Family? Pets? Family you wish were pets? Fabulous husband, two fabulous children and Lola, the cutest pug on the planet.
What are your guilty pleasures? I don’t feel guilty!
What’s your favorite beverage? Starbucks and cabernet – but not together!
What’s your favorite font? Such personal questions…Wendy for girls and Bernhard Modern for boys.
Not to toot our own horn, but what’s your favorite Luscious Verde design? Can I toot my own horn? I love your designs but I love being able to customize them even more!
Other than being awesome at stationery, what else are you really good at? Since I’ve been a “paper mogul” for 20 years, I haven’t had time to be good at anything else! My hidden talent…hmm…I can pick fabulous restaurants!
