Hello Everyone

Morning everyone…..I have unfortunately come down with the flu….I went to my doctor on Sat. and he told me I’m not going anywhere. He gave me strict instructions, and medications. I haven’t had the flu in many many years, because I always get a flu shot. This year the flu got me before I could get my shot. To say I feel horrendous is an understatement. I forgot how debilitating the flu makes you feel. I know you are disappointed, but there’s nothing I can do. Of course Jennifer, who is great, will take over. I had Lou, my dog sitter and my nurse! send all of the samples and accessories down to Jennifer just in case this turned for the worse, so she is up to date on everything. You will see the show as I intended. I will be home, along with you, watching the BIG DEAL being presented…..cheering Jennifer on…..Jen and I have had long conversations about the show so she’s more than ready…..The blazers look great, and the more I see what a STRONG TREND they are for this fall and next spring 2020, I know making them the Big Deal was the right thing to do. My advise is to order your size. These are an easier fit than the Crepe Gauze blazers so I know you will be perfect in your normal numerical size…..I will be here laying on the couch watching TV, and falling asleep, so if you have questions now or during the show I will try to answer them…………………….Back to bed with me………………..much Love……………………….Louis

    Louis so sorry to hear you are not feeling well and I miss you but Jen did a fabulous job since I purchased axed 2 blazers and 2 blouses ..they are gorgeous and what a fabulous BIG DEAL. your clothes go everywhere with me and I always get so many compliments

    So as a medical professional I am advising you to rest up drink lots of fluids and follow doctors orders hoping we see you again soon

    ❤️

    I’ll be brief since you really need lots of rest. The blazer is an incredible hit!
    Gorgeous, each one with its own personality. It’s being seen all over the Q much the same as a TSV would,
    The ivory one is probably sold out by now. Each was styled beautifully, and the shows look as smooth as silk! And, all coordinating jewelry is available
    on line in time for the shows.—along with numerous other NEW jewelry offers! Your expertise is transcending you being there! Only one thing missing that can’t be ignored—you and your incredible enthusiasm and love for
    each piece you bring us. 😉

    Get Well Soon!
    Ciao

    So sorry to hear you are not feeling well.
    Please take good care of yourself- we count on you to make us feel good everyday.
    I just completed my trip through California and Alaska. It was all Linea all the time.
    My friend in Santa Barbara was very complimentary of your designs.
    Thanks for all you do- rest well and Iook forward to seeing you soon.

    Hi Louis,
    So sorry you are sick and missed you, though Jennifer was great. I love the blazers and bought the yellow and caramel and 2 of the blouses. I hope you feel better soon and look forward to your next appearance.

  9. Carolyn Muse

    Dear Louis, My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. Rest, rest, rest like the doctor ordered. The Big Deal is exceptional. The new jewelry feels like Christmas. Already ordered some. I received the scarf blouses and they are beautiful. Thank you for all that you do for us. Love you Louis!

  10. Chris/Jazzmom

    Jennifer has done a fantastic job describing all the details on the Big Deal along with all the other items presented.

  11. Pam

    Dear Louis,

    I do hope you get over this miserable bout of the flu very quickly! Please do as the doctor orders! The Big Deal blazer is fabulous!!

    Best,

    Pam

  12. Carolyn

    Jennifer is presenting and she said you had the flu. Congratulations on making the difficult decision to stay home and care for yourself. Prayers for your speedy recovery. Blessings. Take care. Jennifer is wonderful but she is not you!

  13. Somersault

    Louis, so sorry you are ill but happy you are being taken care of! Jennifer will do a wonderful presentation, tonight. Just wanted you to know that your Ivory Blazer has been getting airplay last night on PM Style during the Joan Rivers faux suede shirt presentation, Courtney was wearing it with the faux suede shirt under it and this evening Amy on QVC2 Bethlehem Lights is doing the entire presentation in the Ivory Blazer! It looks fabulous!!!!

  14. Melanie K

    One hour to go to liftoff. Feel better Louis, and take care of yourself. I never miss you when you’re on the Q. I’m sure Jen will do you and your beautiful creations proud. Already have my eye on the yellow and the caramel, with the blue and cranberry blouses. Love, love, your designs. Hope to see you in October at the Q!!! Regards, M

  15. Sylvia

    We will MISS YOU, but we want you to take care of yourself! So sorry you have the flu ;-(. They will be offering the shot to us at work next week… I take the shot every year also; as a health care worker, I don’t want to pass it on to my patients. I have purchased my blazer, blouses, and jewelry, and now I can watch the shows. I know Jennifer will do GREAT!

  16. Michelle

    Louis, I join the other Linea ladies in sending you positive energy and well wishes for a speedy recovery. Put your feet up, take it easy and follow doctor’s orders. We will be cheering Jennifer on..and buying all of the new goodies that were just posted. Be well, Michelle

  17. Susan B

    Louis, we will all miss you tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing all your beautiful fashions tonight. Take good care of yourself.

  18. Caroline

    We will all miss you for the presentation of the big deal, but know that Jen is more than capable of handling the task. I will still enjoy seeing how you put the outfits together along with the jewelry. Hope your health improves soon and we are all thinking about you.

  19. Robin

    Louis, so sorry to hear that you are down with the flu. Glad to hear that you are taking your doctor’s advice and I am sure that you will be feeling better soon.
    Sending warm wishes,
    Robin

  20. Karen in WI

    Oh Louis do take care and rest!! We take homeopathic oscillococcinum and elderberry syrup every few hours the first few days. I wish we were in the same neighborhood so I could stop at the health food store and drop some off for you! I will be watching sweet Jennifer and look forward to the show. Love and hugs dear Louis!

  21. Foxie2

    I sensed , by your comment earlier, that something was coming. So sorry. I ordered my yellow and camel earlier. Jennifer will do her usual great job, but it’s not quite the same without you. I’ve waited on my flu shot a bit, as I wanted the immunity to peak at the usual flu peak. Guess I’ll go get it now! When I did get the real flu, I was able to start Tamiflu pills, and that helped. Just know how happy you are making so many with these perfect blazers!

  22. Barbara in Virginia

    Oh no, Louis!!! The flu is nasty, nasty, nasty. But I am so happy that you are following your doctor’s orders and staying home to get all the rest and care that you need. My recommendation? Won Ton soup seems to cure whatever ails me! Must be those Chinese herbs. We will all miss you for sure but also know that Jennifer will do an outstanding job. And your clothes sell themselves, you know! XXOO Barbara

  23. Carol

    Feel better, and take care of yourself. We’ll miss you, but we’re still here for the fashion! Can’t wait to see the blazers in action.

    Carol

  24. Elaine

    Wishing you a speedy recovery Louis.
    Jennifer will be great and she looks so fabulous in your designs.
    Rest up, watch the Yankees before the show and will look forward to seeing you soon.
    Fondest regards, Elaine

  25. Suellen

    Louis, we’re all praying for your comfort and good recovery, and we’ll be watching the show with you! The blazers are beautiful, and a wonderful showcase of your talent!

  26. Melissa W

    Oh no!! I’m so sorry. We will miss you! And I’m sure you will miss not being able to present this fabulous big deal. But I’m sure Jen will do a fine job. I’m looking forward to seeing the colors on tv so I can finalize my decision.

    Hope you are feeling better soon!

  27. Jane J.

    Wow, Louis! I am so sorry to hear that you have the flu. This seems to be so early in the season for flu. I just got my flu shot yesterday — this was late for me, usually I get it earlier (and, now, I’m glad I got it yesterday). I’ve also heard of many cases of pneumonia this year. So, please, take care of yourself. As others have said, this is not something to fool around with. Be assured your loyal Linea ladies are all wishing you a quick recovery. We will miss you, but we know Jennifer will do a great job presenting your creations.

  28. InStitches49

    Hope you feel better really soon! I know Jennifer will do a great job, but we’ll still miss seeing you. I ordered the blouse/scarf combination in three colors and love the fit and the feel of them! Now all I need is the blazer! Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way!

  29. Susan

    Louis,

    So sorry to hear you’re under the weather. Here’s to a quick recovery. Yesterday and today, I have been stalking the Q, and have purchased many new jewelry items and two of the jackets. I also bought the Tuxedo. Four blouse/scarf sets arrived Saturday. They are so beautiful! Thank you so much for all you do. 😘

    Susan

    Dear Louis…I am sending you healing thoughts! Please take advantage of the ‘down time”. Thank you so much for the lovely plaid blazers. I ordered two this morning and am excited about receiving them. As always, I am a very appreciative customer who is so very fortunate to her very own designer. My closet is 100% Linea.

  31. Gail in PA

    Hi Louis,

    “Sleep, the main course in life’s feast, and the most nourishing.” The Bard speaks. You have your little army of support, as my best friend used to say, to help you through.
    I ordered the yellow plaid blazer. The minute I saw it in your blog I knew it was the one. One of the first of your pieces that I ordered many moons ago was a blazer. It said everything about you as a designer and I felt that I could buy anything from your line with confidence. I haven’t been disappointed.
    Be well!

    I’m so sorry. Do NOTHING but rest up and get better. Flu is nothing to fool with. We’ll all survive, but your actual survival is paramount.

  33. Sallie

    Sending wishes that you will be feeling much better soon. Sounds like things are well in hand and I’m looking forward to the shows. Of course, you will be missed terribly, but Jennifer is a fine representative of you and your line. Take care, drink plenty of fluids and REST! : )

  34. Chris/Jazzmom

    Hi again,

    Just noticed that the Q misspelled ‘Chatelaine’ as ‘ChaNtelaine’ on both of the jewelry items.

    Sigh……

  35. Nancy (AKA TheOwl)

    Louis, SO GLAD you are taking care of yourself sir! I will enjoy the show more not feeling guilty about you hacking away or sniffling in misery. Many beautiful offerings and the sneak photos posted on Facebook look outstanding on Jennifer wearing the big deal. If there is anything particular that Jennifer may not get the opportunity to say that you would have wished said, you can always chase us down here, or on Facebook. We are so grateful for all that you strive to do for us your clients and I hope friends. You are and have always been extremely generous with us on the blog. I have copied and saved some of your most salient bits of advice for me and I still go back and consult your thoughts when in doubt. Thank you for such a high standard of excellence in your work, your line, and your interactions with us. I guess it is obvious how much we appreciate that and care about you not just the outstanding fashion items! Speedy recovery and probably much needed rest!

  36. Chris

    Please take care of yourself, Jennifer will do a good job tonight as we will be cheering her on.
    Love all the new jewelry posted this morning. Thank you for all you do!
    Feel better soon,
    Chris

  37. Chris/Jazzmom

    Hi Louis,

    Hope your flu is over within the week. We just got our flu shots in early September. The blazer still isn’t available for ordering but it looks like the sizing is the same as Jac’s blazer which I own in the ivory.

    We will miss you!
    Chris

    My Dear Louis,

    I am saddened to hear that you are sick with the flu. Please rest, take in lots of fluids and please have Lou bring you some soup made from chicken stock. If you have a Chick-fil-A restaurant near you, they offer a truly tasty and satisfying chicken soup chock full of veggies and noodles. It has drive-through. You just know their soup will make you feel better while you are eating it. If you do not have a nearby Chick franchise, please get some Greek “avgolemono” soup (the Greek chicken soup) from a Greek eatery. It, too, holds magic. If all else fails, Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup is always there to carry you through.

    My thoughts are with you and I pray you improve soon. We were surprised by an avalanche of beautiful jewelry today on QVC. You know my eye found its way to the “Multi Capri.” Take good care of yourself! Rest. Sleep. Eat good food.

  39. Debby

    Have a speedy recovery! It seems to be around NY also! Take care of yourself, we had lotsssss of chicken soup and it helped!

  40. Susan (aka CarlyTwila)

    Dear Louis,
    Get well soon! I am sure Jennifer will do a great job.

    Louis, first and foremost take care of you and follow the doctors orders. In the meantime I will and I am sure all the other Linea ladies will be praying for your recovery, the flu is no joke!

  43. Seka

    Louis, Hope you get better soon! Jennifer will do a Fabulous job! I’m waiting for the Blazer to get posted – am ready to order!

    FYI – overnight – the Q posted ELEVEN new Jewellery items! It was like waking up on Christmas morning!

    Take care.
    Seka.

  44. Pamela DiMarino

    Dearest Louis, you are in my prayers. The flu is miserable,and you are doing the right thing by taking it seriously, following doctor’s orders. Rest well, and don’t rush your recovery!. Much love to you!

  45. Beryk

    Wish I could bring you some chicken soup. Feel better soon.
