Well it is only Tuesday but it feels like the weekend should be upon us. I spent all of yesterday in the car, driving half way around the country. My sat nav is obviously feeling the strain as it kept telling me to turn around when possible half way along the M5. Not sure how that works to be honest but we all have our off days. I have now secured all the furniture for Pure and am excited that it is coming together. I designed the look books today and hope that we will have all the pictures back in time for printing. The samples for the show are looking really great and I am so happy with the designs and I hope they will be welcomed at the show. I am still a bit worried that I have not covered everything but am sure it will all come together on the day. I found some really great pieces of furniture in a store in Gloucester. My husband will think I have lost my marbles when he sees the colours I picked. Oh well happy days from someone who is questioning her logic right now.
Thought for the day - some days are such a waste of makeup.
So today started with me being my normally bolshy self adament that I was going shopping for things for my stand at Pure. I had loads of ideas running around my head as to how the handbags would be displayed, how the stand had to be trendy and fashionable. So off I trotted and just got carried away, I found the best chairs ever, one is just sooo like my collection it is untrue. I found some great tables covered in Crocodile skin leather and black they are just so trendy. But the problem came when I tried to put everything into the car, oh dear, my husband who had stood patiently, bored looking I may add, had the biggest smirk on his face ever ! so what is a girl to do. ‘Honey could you get the train home?’ did not go down a treat – took the smile of his face straight away, hahaha, I did not mean it, really I didnt. So we crammed the boot closed with as much as possible on the inside and I can tell you this if we had a problem on the way home noone was ever going to get us out of the car without a winch! so have to say am so glad to be home.
Boticca.com awarded izzi bag as designer of the day, yippee doo !! our first award. Thank you to them. I feel like I should have an acceptance speech to give, my husband just laughed at me when he caught me standing in front of the bathroom mirror. Ok Ok it is not an Oscar but it might as well have been. I was so excited and I thank them so much for voting me as ….. ok enough.
Today has been a manic day, my father-in-law is still poorly in hospital and my son decided to go off camping to Wales with his friends, I am sure that there is method in his madness. Anyway I have managed to get a lot done for the izzi bag collection launch, I am still trying to decide on displays for the stand and I am still looking for the name for our new bag, which of course I have harped on about all week. Actually I am telling porkies, I have one now but you will have to wait until Pure to know what it will be called. Enjoy the weekend.
Thought for the day:
Pick the day. Enjoy it – to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come… The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present – and I don’t want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
