Jassness: Hecticness

Hello hello hello, the past two weeks have been really hectic, and the next few are gonna be just as hectic. I've been busy with everything; keying orders before deadlines (YIKES), picking out PR stuff (SO HARD!), cleaning, packing away old collections and making room for the new ones, staying in touch with the new customers we got from the fair, trying to agree on payment&shipment things.. And the list goes on and on...

Anyways, thought I would start by sharing a few pictures from today, but my Nokia is being a pain in the ass, so we'll skip straight to the shoe fair! It was an amazing opportunity and a wonderful experience, at least for me. It did get a bit boring at times, I mean who likes sitting on their butts doing nothing for hours, and then have a lot of customers come in at the same time, all wanting to place an order and asking questions about the freight costs and where the leather is imported from and about the assortment sizes and what not. For a first time I think we did pretty damn well! 99% of the meetings we had agreed on actually took place. It was also interesting to see how fast word actually travels, and how well everyone knows each other in the shoe business. By Sunday we were known as the place where you could get the cutest and wildest bags(Friis&CO) and the brightest and cutest sneakers (Keds) from.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the actual hotel, where the fair "arena" was actually located in. The hotel was really nice, and I gotta admit my inner child got out every night after 7 when I went to the waterpark(!!!). Only bad thing was we didn't have a proper, wholebody mirror ANYWHERE! Major minus!

Our "showroom" was located on the second floor(which was circuling the "arena"). Great view and Sherlock Holmes mode on. Now here's some pictures from the Griffin&Co room ;)
