FINALLY!!

The waiting game is over, at least for now. I got my first order from a childrens boutique in Garberville CA. Thank you, Garberville!! It's a small one but I am so excited to have the first one in. I believe this calls for some celebrating.

The Waiting Game Continues

Soooo, Dallas and LA didn't go as expected. Reps said business was slow even for established lines. For a new line that's not good. They did get interest for buying in March, which is the real Fall buying time...more waiting.
Dallas rep is on the road for 6 weeks so we'll see what that brings.....something I hope.
Starting to work on a press release to get the name out there and create some kind of interest, even if it's only locally. Although I would love to get some national press I have to figure out where to submit for that.

First Shows

You would think I would have a lot to say, and usually I do. However remembering to write it all down it another story. So, I am making a new attempt to post at least once a day, and be a little more diligent about it.

So here, goes. Today I will hopefully hear some good news from my Dallas sales rep. The Dallas Apparel Market was last week till yesterday. I am pretty sure it was more for Spring 2010 immediates but if it was anything like the LA market, they will at least have shown the Fall line and will have some type of feedback. JulieAnn was very excited to get the line and I think she will be a good match for Dallas to sell it. I just really want to have an order coming, although it's early still. I HATE WAITING!!

Also, just updated the website and added the last two add on pieces to a JACKETS tab. I think they are great. My friends think they are great, I just want buyers to think they are great as well. Again it's a waiting game.

Time to start thinking about Spring 2011, hard when it's freezing here and even spring 2010 seems so far away. But I need to get started with development. Which means more money spent and more stress. But I do love it...I better at this point cause it's past the trying it out stage and now deep into making it work stage. Which it will, keep thinking positive!!
