Just popping in briefly to say Hi. I have been innudated with work as I have a January sale on, this has meant lots of orders, which is wonderful, but it leaves me little time for anything else. Add to that another bout of flu! I have had flu on and off now for the best part of 6 weeks. I feel rough for a few days, lose my voice, feel better for a few days and then it gets bad again. I'm so bored with it now. I know I am not alone in feeling this way, there are some nasty viruses around and they seem to take forever to recover from. I am currently croaking my way round the fabric room parcelling up goodies to be sent off around the world!
I also wanted to tell you about an exciting project that I was involved in last year. I worked with a designer for Kurt Geiger shoes sourcing vintage 1950's floral and abstract fabrics for a range of shoes they were making. Well, these shoes are now available in the Kurt Geiger shops and they are beautiful! A real must for any vintage fabric or fashion lover I think. Aren't they delicious?
I know I have said it before but I LOVE MY JOB!

Wow the shoes are fantastic - you must be really proud.
Sorry to hear you are struggling with the flu - do you take echinacea - we swear by it in this house during the winter months
It boosts your immune system to either help you stop catching it or making it much shorter if you do.
Also I was reading in this months CL that elderflower cordial helps - apparently when they put elderflower in with a virus it inactivated it !!!
I'm going to get some tomorrow

Hi Dons, Hope you feel better soon. There's so much stuff going around at the moment - lots of hot drinks and sleep!
All I can say about your job is WOW! It's so brilliant that your passion is your job! Those shoes are amazing. (I hope they paid you designer prices too for doing that for them!)
Ooh I love the fabrics on the shoes, very nice! Hope you're feeling a lot better soon xxx
Aaarrgghh, I feel a shoe splurge coming on. Sorry to hear you've been suffering with the dreaded lurgy. Here's hope it clears off for good soon.

Hey Dons.
You have flu too, you poor cow. It's awful isn't it. I still feel ill myself as well. As you say it comes and goes.
I think they should have given you a free pair of shoes for your trouble myself.
I m so proud of you for what you have achieved from those early days. I can remember buying stuff from you years ago when you first started and look at you now!!
Woo.

When I was looking round the shops in Heathrow's Terminal 5 recently, I saw some of the shoes using your fabric in the Kurt Geiger store there.
They look even better in the flesh. They are absolutely delicious.
I felt so proud of you.
