What a joyous day it is today

My Fall manufacturing is on time, two customers wrote asking if they can place new/enlarge their Fall order and the new baby girls line for Spring 15 is shaping up to be really special. This is a seriously kickass day.

Nice to hear Shaun. We have a feature starting in Boston, "Finest Hours" but unfortunately I'm not on it.

Black and Decker or Craftsmen? Hopefully not a cheap Chinese knockoff.

Shaun, please tell me more about the baby girls line. My granddaughter was born last Sunday and I need to get started on spoiling her.

Mike, yes, clothing for boys age 3M to 12. A lot of fun but the hardest thing I've ever done, overseas manufacturing is a killer. It's a personal mission of mine to make sure boys know cool cars, motorcycles and trucks with designs on shirts.

Matt, not for some time unfortunately. No time until I can hire another assistant again, last one lasted 6 weeks so I need to rethink my strategy after Fall ships and things settle down.

Paul, congratulations, very exciting! I'll have baby girls production in-house at the end of January for Spring 15. Will post some pics when sales samples come in, at the show in NY beginning of August.

Thanks again, such a great day yesterday, just wanted to share.
