Shoes Gifts- AKA Jacque and the Purple Box

I was recently thinking about all of the wonderful shoe gifts that I have received over the years. There are so many; they fill my office and other parts of my home.  Some come with me in my car, some I carry with me at all times, others I wear.

When I thought of all of the gifts though,  I realized that it was not the magnificence of some of them, but the giver behind them that really held the most significance for me. That brings me to the story of the purple box, and how it really exemplifies for me a large part of what our company is all about.

Now you are asking what does a purple box have to do with shoes??? Well, the purple box that I am alluding to contained a mountain of shoe gifts from one of my long time Representatives, Jacque. She always gives such care, attention, and detail to everything that she does with a party from the display to the delivery of shoes.

Jacque, one year, gave me these amazing gifts of all kinds relating to our business. She put them in the most beautiful purple box, which is one of our two theme colors (the other one is pink). Since that time, I have filled the purple box with special notes that I have received from Representatives, and stories about how they found us and came to be part of FPI. The purple box and its contents are on my list of my most treasured possessions.

The purple box is about more than the gift itself it is a gift of the heart. That is how we all feel about our company. It is more than the shoes (Though they are fabulous!!!). It is about the care that each Representative takes in putting together a stunning display, as I heard Joey did this weekend. Or the care and attention that Jacque takes in decorating delivery bags, or how Andrea, our Graphic Designer, constantly gives of herself. The purple box and all of the other shoe gifts that I have received over the years is about the spirit of giving, and that is really what FPI is all about.
