Busy Start to a Busy Week

Still trying to get back into the swing of things after a severe case of jet lag. I really enjoyed my trip to Paris with my friends in tow.

I am working feverishly to get some orders out as well as getting everything ready for the show home. Chris, the upholsterer and I spent Friday afternoon at Award Fabrics downtown to pick out fabrics for the furniture in the show home. It is going to look fabulous. I took a cue from Paris and went with grays, cream and blacks. Kami, the photographer who went to Paris, is going to enlarge some of the pictures she took to hang on the walls. I think it is going to come together better than we think.

I broke down and hired another assistant. Her name is Teresa and she will be working 3 days a week with Lisa and me. I have hired 3 people and all of them have quilting experience. Something says I need to start doing some quilting. LOL.

You know when you are busiest, everything is going to go wrong. My blind hemmer bit the dust yesterday and I had to not only pay for repair, I had to pay the same day rush charge. I'm in the wrong business. I need to start repairing machines.

I hope that is the only thing that gets in the way of getting these orders done.

Welcome to the 1st post to our new blog. We are a custom drapery workroom in Canton, GA, just north of Atlanta. We design and make custom draperies for retail clients as well as interior designers.
We have so much fun creating beautiful window treatments, bedding and custom furniture that we thought it would be interesting to start a blog to share all of our interesting moments. We try to keep abreast of all the new techniques and styles but keep an old world work ethic. We make everything by hand and pay attention to every detail along the construction process.
We look forward to sharing all of our adventures throughout the year. We hope you enjoy reading our blog. Our first big adventure starts in less than 2 weeks. We are going to a drapery and fabric show in Paris, France. We are so excited!!!! Hope you enjoy our posts from there.
