Last year she decided to reinvent her business in women's fashion, and now offers private home and hotel showings of "the Barbara Friday Collection."

"I shop the markets from San Francisco to Las Vegas to New York in order to determine the BEST of the best fashions for the season to include in my Collection", says Barbara. "When I give a show I bring sized samples in a variety of colors, so there is no guess work involved in ordering.

Guests at the shows choose the styles, sizes and colors of the garments they want, and the merchandise is delivered to the hostess usually within three weeks. The benefit of having a show (besides the fun of private shopping with your girlfriends) is receiving 10% of the sales credit toward your own purchases.

"Many of my clients have been shopping with me for years, and depend on my expertise to outfit them".
