Cindy
Hill moved
to Austin a little less than four years ago to enjoy the creative
flow of the city. A former junior high and high school teacher
and a mother of three beautiful girls, Cindy has found that
the Austin lifestyle is an encouraging environment for both
young people and adults such as herself.
Cindy opened her first retail business in Columbus, Texas 10
years ago. Homemakers was a great success in a small town. She
decided to take on the city by opening Love.
Love. takes from elements of her former shop; a general store
for everyone, for the home, for yourself, for all occasions.
But Love. is fresh with new ideas, current and vintage merchandise,
multiple textures of styles and reasonable prices. Having spent
her early childhood in various parts of Central America and
Mexico, Cindy has an eye for the Old World and combines it with
modern character. Partner, Ginger Leigh offers a perspective
for the 30-something crowd. Cindy also gets a lot of help from
her three girls (8, 10, 12) who help pick out items for the
kids.

Ginger
Leigh has lived in Austin for 13 years having studied
at the University of Texas. Professional musician and touring
artist, Ginger has spent a lot of time with people. She brings
to Love. an appreciation for human differences and uniqueness.
While Cindy has the eye for the goods, Ginger has the energy to
keep up with the current trends and social activities in Austin.
Her local fanbase has been incredibly supportive of Love. and
makes sure to keep Cindy busy in the shop while Ginger is on tour
overseas.

The
Mommy and the Rock Star have taken baby steps to getting
the store open. They moved into 1000 South First in May 2003 to
begin decorating and organizing. By August, the duo had already
hosted a series of outdoor concerts (affectionately known as "Love
on the Lawn"), during which people listen to live music and
shop inside. The girls opened their doors officially for daytime
hours in August and have not stopped yet. Shoppers and music lovers
alike enjoy coming to Love. Austin voters even voted Love on the
Lawn as one of the top 10 "Best New Clubs" in the Chronicle
Music Awards 2003 and top 10 "Best Acoustic Venue" in
2004. Love. on the Lawn also won Critic's pick in the Austin Chronicle
awards 2005.
Along with the excitement of having been recognized as a great
place to hear music, Cindy and Ginger feel rewarded every time
new and repeat customers come get their Love. Every day more and
more Austinites and visitors become "Love.rs".....
Love has increased its stock of clothing to near 70%
of the store's inventory, carrying lines such as Ben Sherman for
men and women, LTB Jeans for men and women, Hazel, Freepeople,
Pulsion, and more.
