Wanted (take 2)

(love it when you are just about to post something and then somehow something goes wrong and it is gone...Where did it go though?)Try again.


Hi,
Last week I had a stunning lady stumble across my boutique. She bought one of my designs which I down sized for her as I only had a large one left. She rang her friend on the way out the door.
On Saturday they met in Miss Carla's.
I had just cut out a piece of leopard print yoryu fabric from the last overseas trip. The ladies went crazy for the print. We even held up the unsewn pieces to see if the style suited.
The wet, wet, wet weather put me in a sewing mood. The 4 dresses were made up in a flash.
As requested, I sent a text to let them know the style was now on the rack. Minutes later the phone rings....
"my friend is coming down for the dress, if she doesn't buy it then I will" Fabulous.
Within half an hour her friend has been in and bought the new design. Minutes later the phone rings...again..
"My friend does not mind if I get one too. What time do you close?" Fantastic.
The stunning lady also bought my dress and wants to know whenever something new hits the rack.
Thank you ladies.
Every time something like this happen it makes me want to race out and get more fabric.
There is lots more to come.
I started this journey trying to abide by the rules of business and fashion that I thought were important. I am slowly realising my own rules are very important. Days like yesterday are brilliant. Miss Carla is shaping up to be wonderfully unique xxxxx

  1. That sounds very exciting. It will be very interesting seeing your business grow. I will learn from you till one day when I will start my own. On another note go to edit posts, to your posts, click on drafts and your post will show up there. It happened to me and I freaked out, after writing a big post but thank god it was hidden in there!
