Wow!  October and November were truly whirlwind months for p.o.p.  Our Halloween treats were picked up with families, schools, the Mar Vista Farmer's Market, and even Santa Monica's finest Rustic Canyon, who distributed the treat to their quality-driven customers.  We're thrilled that RC owner Josh Loeb and pastry chef Zoe Nathan have asked us about carrying p.o.p. in their new bakery Huckleberry, which is scheduled to open in February 2009.  Meanwhile,we're now available at the 3rd & Fairfax's Magee's House of Nuts and, now passed Thanksgiving, we'll be getting back in touch with Cooke's Market in El Segundo, about adding p.o.p. to their inventory.  The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills didn't wait until we were on their shelves to order 100+ bags of butter crunch, which we were more than happy to deliver, to include in their holiday baskets....  We've been setting up our p.o.p. stand at a number of holiday boutiques and have really enjoyed the new customers we've met and made just in time for the holidays.   Hancock Park's MOM event mom's went CRAZY for our rosemary almond; we'll be back with double our inventory for the St. Brendan's Christmas Boutique on December 5!  Mar Vista's Big Boo Carnival (Oct 25) and Beethoven Elementary Boutique (Nov 22) were more expansive than we could have imagined.  Up next is Coeur d'Alene (Dec 6), and Venice's Walgrove (Dec 17)....  We're also very happy to be back at another Luxe Life event (Dec 7) and can't wait to check out the crowd at Unique L.A. (Dec 13-14)  (Check out our NEWS section for more on these last events)....  Meanwhile, the new orders keep rolling in and new flavors and holiday offerings are rolling out of our p.o.p. kitchen.  Be sure to check out our new thyme walnut 'n cherries flavor that we created in the spirit of holiday stuffing, which was served up on many Thanksgiving tables.  Now on to December ... r&b@p.o.p.
