well. it happens naturally. christina started selling her jewelry in college. at the end of one trunk show early on it occurred to her, she could make a career of it. all the pieces were gone and we had orders for, like 57 pieces. i was a bit overwhelmed but i thought, wow, i made that much money in three hours. in is exciting. this is worth expanding. so when she graduated, she set up shop in her parent s basement. when christina came home from college, i would naturally say what can i do for you? what can i help with? before she had kids linda had been a dancer and dance teacher. when christina and her brothers came along, linda gave up her career. i wanted to be a stay at home mom. that s why i left dancing to become a mom. how did you turn from mom helping out your daughter because you saw she needed help and chatting to mom as employee?
know? it s fun. they both say it took a little adjustment in the beginning. christina had to get used to being the boss. at one point she kind of said christina when we re down here, when we re in the office you know you need to give me direction and treat me as anyone else. angela walsh who works with christina v says the roles are clear. do i consider mother and daughter? we have our own duties and special jobs we have to do. it doesn t seem like that. but the mother/daughter relationship is never far from the forefront. francine rexer was one of christina v s first customers for her store rexer hr parks. she loves christina s customer service and the family is the food. it s a joyous thing because it s like a holiday with another family and you re together with them. and advisors appreciate the family atmosphere. because people are just really talking personally. they re really talking from the heart. for linda and christina, who have always been close working
