The R. Nichols Nook at Soolip

Posted by R. Nichols on

  I first met Wanda Wen just over 10 years ago. She's one of those people that just have a knack for creating beauty.  Back in those days I would haul my samples around in a backpack and travel the country knocking on doors and seeing who I could find to carry my line of cards.  When I first traveled  to Los Angeles I discovered Soolip Paperie, Wanda's magnificent store on Melrose.  She successfully carried R. Nichols for years - but over time we'd lost touch.

So here we are just over 10 years later.  Upon moving to LA this past June, I reconnected with Wanda.  She has a beautiful new book  called "The Art of Gift Wrapping".  As we were catching up she mentioned that she had this little extra space at Soolip - and asked me if I would  like to set up a mini R. Nichols shop.  A little tiny room/nook at the very back that was all mine - well - I was all over it.   So I showed up with my paintbrush and fixtures and went to work creating my little world.

                               The R. Nichols Nook at Soolip

The end result is The R. Nichols Nook at Soolip.  It's an adorable tiny little shop within a shop where you can find nearly the entire R. Nichols collection (including original art pieces as we get closer to the holidays).   It is also quite possible that you will find me hanging around  too.  I am often there working on new designs (especially on Saturdays), meeting shoppers (and occasionally celebrities), chit-chatting - it's become my retail home away from home.  

                                              Wanda and her beautiful empire

                         Wanda's new book

So, If you are in LA, I hope you'll come visit Soolip (8646 Melrose - right across from the Pacific Design Center / open 7 days a week).  It would be wonderful to meet you.   If you are a "facebook person" please become a fan of R. Nichols and you'll always  know what I'm up to and just where I might be (whether it's The R. Nichols Nook at Soolip or The R. Nichols Shop in Orlando.....)!

Hope to see you soon!

  • I never imagined I’d be the kind of person who would fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam I considered myself relatively tech-savvy I had been trading for over a year studied the basics of blockchain and used two-factor authentication on all my wallets But as I learned the hard way sometimes even caution isn’t enough My ordeal began when I came across what seemed like a legitimate investment opportunity on a social media platform The operation looked professional There was a well-designed website regular posts and what appeared to be a thriving community of investors I was initially skeptical so I started small Over time their communication and “returns” built my confidence Eventually I invested more—$240,000 worth of Ethereum and USDT across multiple transactions It wasn’t until I tried to withdraw some profits that things unraveled Suddenly all communication stopped The site went offline My wallet showed transfers to unknown addresses I never authorized The shock hit hard I felt angry at myself—ashamed even I contacted my bank and local authorities but there wasn’t much they could do since it involved decentralized crypto assets I filed a police report but I knew the chances of recovery were slim After a few days of emotional numbness and frantic research I began looking into cyber forensic services That’s when I heard about Bytephantom Cyber Recovery not from an ad or flashy promotion but through a community forum where others shared their experiences What caught my attention was the way people described the process slow methodical and based on actual evidence not empty promises Reaching out to Bytephantom was a leap of faith but at that point I had little to lose What stood out from the beginning was that they didn’t guarantee success They explained the technical complexity of tracing crypto assets through blockchain forensics the time it might take and what information I needed to provide wallet addresses transaction hashes correspondence with the scammers It wasn’t some automated fix—it was a real investigative process The next few weeks were emotionally taxing I had to relive the experience through emails and screenshots and answer a lot of questions from the team There were long periods of silence which tested my patience But every so often they would give me an update a lead they were following or a wallet they had traced movement to It was slow progress but it was real About two months in they informed me they had identified a chain of wallets linked to the scam Through collaboration with other cases and partnerships with certain crypto compliance organizations they managed to put a temporary freeze on a centralized exchange account holding part of the stolen funds After providing additional documentation and going through some verification steps I was shocked when I finally received a partial recovery nearly $150,000 Over the next few weeks they were able to assist with further recovery from smaller wallets that had previously seemed unreachable In total I recovered approximately $215,000 Not the full amount but far more than I ever expected Looking back I still carry the weight of the mistake But I also carry a lesson—on caution on the sophistication of online scams and on the reality of what recovery looks like Bytephantom didn’t wave a magic wand What they offered was transparency technical skill and steady support during a deeply stressful period in my life I share this not as an endorsement but as a testimony to the fact that even in a largely unregulated space like crypto there are still ways forward if you’re willing to be patient and work with the right people My case wasn’t easy and the result wasn’t perfect—but it was honest and it gave me a second chance I didn’t think I’d have

    A ceramic band heater will last a lot longer than a typical mica band heater if you use it with materials that are standard temperature. Better control and much-reduced lag time are provided by a ceramic band heater, which helps to maintain temperatures throughout the process.
