A few weeks ago, Kathe Freund, our “Customer Service Diva” overnighted a Pearl Starfish t-shirt to one of our die-hard starfish fans who wanted to wear it while on her family vacation…what resulted is a great story, not only for us (thanks for sharing, Ellen), but also for the sisters as well.

When my mother, sister and I arrived on the boat in the Galapagos Islands, my sister, Ann, said, “Ellen, I have the cutest shirt you have ever seen!”  I said, “No Ann, I have the cutest shirt you have ever seen.”  Well, we went on and on about our unseen shirts and as the competition heated up we decided to settle the matter Zoolander style with a walk off.  As you have probably already figured out we had the same starfish shirt from Fresh Produce.  It was the funniest thing.  Hers was in blue, mine in brown.  We got so many compliments on the trip whenever we wore our Fresh Produce starfish shirts.

Thank you again for going the extra mile to make sure I had mine for the trip.  By the way, the trip was fabulous - almost as fabulous as our cute Fresh Produce Star Fish shirts.
