Yet another magical and unforgettable gathering at Kathmandu Boutique on Monday, June 15th!
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for our Zero Waste Bi-Annual Gathering and celebration of 21 years in business here in Santa Monica.
Without our supportive community, loyal customers, dear friends, and longtime patrons, we would not be here today. The past few years have brought many challenges, especially after the Palisades Fire, but through your continued support, word of mouth, and love for our little sanctuary, we are still here and hope to remain here for many years to come.
My heartfelt thanks go to our beautiful musicians. Music is the heart of every gathering, and this celebration would not have been the same without your gifts. I am eternally grateful to Cooper, Arpan, Michael, Rasa, David, Paul, John, Greg, Lucy, Gabe, Connie Maa, Ruby, Nilav, Helen, Mathew, Saheb Singh, Disha, and Johana. Thank you dear Astrud for the delicious chocolate cup cake 🙏🏼❤️
A very special thank you to my dear sister Violet Nepali aka Beena. This gathering would not have been possible without her love, dedication, and support.
My deepest gratitude also goes to Kalpana Didi, who spent two days helping me shop, chop, prepare, and make our famous momos. Thank you to our niece Sushma for helping in the kitchen and keeping the chai and food flowing throughout the day.
Thank you, Jason D McKean, for sharing your magical tarot readings, and thank you, Dear Kripa for the beautiful henna art that adorned so many of our wonderful guests.
And finally, thank you to each and every one of you who showed up, shared your smiles, your energy, and your hearts. Serving this incredible community for 21 years is beyond anything I could have imagined when I first started this journey.
I am grateful beyond measure and deeply honored to walk this path with all of you. Thank you for helping make Kathmandu Boutique the loving community it is today.❤️✨
