A successful event

Well, the big VIP Shopping Event has come and gone. I must say that the taste of success after putting in so many hours before hand was so much sweeter than the millions of tiny Easter eggs sitting on the counter here in front of me.
The night was great. Come Thursday afternoon, the boutique was filled to the brim of new exciting stock. Denim, denim, denim. I finally got myself a pair of the FDJ jeans I rave about and must say they are all that and more!
Sometimes I have to take them off and wash them!
I managed to finish 4 new designs in the week before the event. A complete mini story of black, charcoal and a supernova print introducing vivid blue and sea green. Rich texture and gorgeous wool, cotton blends makes it very luxurious at an attractive price. Wow, almost sounds like I sell stuff.
I feel like this business is moving on to the next phase - or maybe just moving into the 1st phase properly. Hope I don't jinx it now! Actually finding it all quite exhilarating.
I am starting to see that time is the key in a new business. Everyone says it but I hate waiting for anything. The clients are talking and people, I am finding, may come in 3 times, before they make a purchase. The word about Miss Carla is spreading.
My signature brand is doing better than I could imagine. This is a huge confidence boost. I am so excited to do more and more.
There is another event in the pipe line. Bigger and better than the last. Details to come.
Anyway, I am thinking about making a start with the production company now. I have 3 styles I need to expand on straight away.
Also want to build the online store. Anyone know anyone who can help? or recommend. I am faced with many different options and IT is a language I am only just speaking pigeon in.
Till next time....xxxxxx
Thanks as always for the love and support. Especially my hubby. Don't think I would still be with me through this sometimes.

Nearly there......

Hi, sorry been chained to the sewing machine ...but....I have nearly nearly finished all I wanted to show for my shopping event tomorrow night. A lovely friend of mine told me recently her trick to getting out a collection on time is no sleep, lots of coffee, MTV and no smiling. So I have done that, contended with a flooded house, dead hot water system and now have a cold...but I am happier than ever. The boutique is stocked to the brim with amazing things. The gorgeous Natalie Wakeling of Embody Denim has given me her entire range for the night - awesome!
I have no idea how many will turn up but it is starting to get very exciting!!!!!
I just made up another dress last night which is Divine. I think my signature is starting to show through. I love prints and comfort and styles that can be worn so many different ways. No brain surgery degrees required.
For the 1st time since launching Miss Carla I am feeling like this monster is starting to pick up speed.
I will keep you up to date on how tomorrow night turns out. Can only be good.
Thanks in advance to all the support from my gorgeous family, friends and regular amazing shoppers.xxxxxx
