Backpack is a Hit
Booth 149
Backpack in Beehive Frame
Well, Sample Spree was exciting. It was sort of a cross between Filene’s bargain basement and a cattle stampede. Mr Laura was a little scared at first. Laura said this one was fairly placid as the aisles were wider and that Houston was a real madhouse. Mr Laura may be ill and unable to attend Houston Sample Spree.
Laura did very well, the T&C Backpacks samples sold very quickly and all of the designs sold well. At least six different stores who already carry her patterns stopped to tell Laura that the women that make their samples ALL say that Laura’s patterns are the best they have worked with. I had a little trouble getting Laura’s head through the door at the end of the evening.
Mr Laura has been able to focus in and specialize in his tasks, and as we all know practice makes perfect. I am now able to Carry Heavy Things as never before, and Going Without Sleep is second nature. Mr Laura plans as soon as he gets home to start spending time specializing in Lollygagging and Malingering.
Looks Promising
The booth looks fantastic! Very colorful. Glad you survived Sample Spree.
If you get a chance, mosey on over to Booth #838, Fabric Editions. Say hello to Laura and Vanessa.
P.S. I love reading your blogs — fun and entertaining.
We will stop by. Very busy today so we never got out of the booth today but will be sure to get there before it is over.
I think that Sample Spree at Spring Market is an opportunity to begin training for Houston. If you study your notes, exercise daily and expose yourself to hordes of shopping women at every opportunity you should be ready for the big leagues. Onward and upward! ML
Well, maybe that would work but I am putting my faith in football pads and a helmet.
