BTS Friends
Our greatest treasure are the people who visit our showroom. Some are volunteers, others shoppers, and still others who walk in with their own special and magical contribution to our daily efforts. This is a page we will update often and with enthusiasm. Thanks to each of you for what you bring to our day.

The great smile belongs to
Micky A. Hohl LPC, a local therapist and terrific friend.
Micky is a unique BTS
shopper. She buys a bundle from the store, wears it for a few weeks and than donates
clothing back to us before starting the cycle all over again.
Her closet stays at the same capacity and the store makes
out like a bandit.
Micky, Thanks for the
great support!
Yeah, we completely understand the double-take with this one.
Hint: If your're in Basalt and need a copy made, who do you go to see?
That's right, Van-Van the Copy Man.
Real Name: Van Sea from Raymond's
Van paid us a visit in his pre-Holloween attire, scared the wits out of everyone shopping who was under 40!
(But hey . . . BTS clothes again!)

bargainer and a very astute shopper. His mom is Elissa Lue Robson, chef at "Fresh" the organic catering company in Aspen.
