Sowing seeds of fulfillment
As a full-time sales rep for national van-line companies for 12 years, Ellen Sullivan understood radical moves. One day she decided to make one herself. Sullivan and her chemist husband, Paul Bernhardy, sold their Orange County, Calif., home in Monarch Beach – they were empty-nesters – and bought a spread in San Diego County's rural Valley Center. That's when they added a new line on their résumés: hobby farmers. No, they don't hoe the back 40 – their farm is only 9 acres – nor do they milk cows or harvest wheat. But they do raise sheep and grow lavender, the sweet-smelling Mediterranean shrub that's been cultivated for more than 2,000 years. They extract the oil, which goes into the dozens of products Sullivan sells online and to customers who flock to the farm each May and June.

Shoe Pavilion, Inc. Provides First Quarter 2007 Business Update
SHERMAN OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shoe Pavilion, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHOE) today provided a business update for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Net sales for the first quarter of 2007 were $36.2 million and comparable store sales increased by 7.8%. The Company expects a net loss for the first quarter of approximately $1.2 million to $1.3 million, or $0.13 to $0.14 per diluted share. Previous guidance for the first quarter of 2007 was for net sales to range between $37.0 million and $39.0 million and for net loss to be approximately $0.02 to $0.03 per diluted share. Results for the first quarter were negatively impacted by lower than expected sales and operating margin at the Company's newest stores opened in the last 12 months. Specifically, the 24 Shoe Pavilion stores opened in 2006 generated sales that were approximately $2.5 million below the Company's expectations for that group of stores.
