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.

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!

How the CanCap investment scam ripped me off my life savings
Never had I thought I’d be a victim of Cryptocurrency scam especially one as terrible as the “CanCap” investment scam which was endorsed by the then Prime MInister Justin Trudeau, that reason it looked so legit and seemed like the truest and easiest way to achieving financial freedom.
My whole life savings was invested into this investment scheme before i found out that I had been scammed. Then, it came to public notice through a television broadcast in which the Alberta Securities Commission ( ASC) began to warn about the CanCap scam. I became so psychologically unstable, I felt terrified knowing well that all I have worked for in life has been taken away from me.
Shortly after, I was left with just one decision backed with the hope of how to get my money back. I discussed the issue with a former work colleague who refered me to a Digital assets recovery company known as “ SPYHOST”. At first, I never believed anything could be done until my investment funds of $540,000 was recovered after just 72 hours has been promised. Words alone can’t tell how grateful I am at this point to this great recovery company so I urge anyone who has also suffered losses groom same investment scheme or the likes or any other services concerning Digital Assets recovery, Data recovery and lost seed phrase, kindly do well to contact SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY through any of their contact information listed below

Individuals should exercise extreme caution in the investment landscape, as numerous fraudulent investment companies and deceptive recovery firms operate globally. The difficulty in withdrawing funds from trading accounts, or the experience of complete financial loss, is unfortunately a common occurrence. These situations often involve sophisticated schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting investors. For example, Ponzi schemes promise exceptionally high returns with minimal risk, attracting investors who subsequently lose their principal investments when the scheme collapses. Another common tactic involves fraudulent brokers who manipulate trading platforms or provide false information to induce losses. Furthermore, many victims fall prey to scam recovery firms that promise to retrieve stolen funds but instead demand upfront fees without delivering on their promises. These firms often operate anonymously and lack any legitimate regulatory oversight. MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs offers guidance and assistance to individuals who have experienced such financial losses. Our services encompass a comprehensive assessment of the situation, identification of the perpetrators, and the pursuit of legal avenues for fund recovery. This process may involve collaborating with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal professionals to build a robust case for restitution. It is crucial to remember that recovering stolen funds requires patience, diligence, and a thorough understanding of the legal processes involved. While MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs strives to provide effective solutions, the success of any recovery effort is dependent on various factors, including the nature of the fraud, the availability of evidence, and the cooperation of relevant authorities. Therefore, prospective clients should approach the process with realistic expectations and a commitment to full transparency and cooperation.
