PILLOWS FROM SCOTT'S

Alrighty then......today marks a week since my debut manning  Sudi's booth at Scott's.
  
Let's just say I had high hopes for smashing all "pillow selling records"....


I stumbled in there at 9:00 and immediately started re-arranging the whole booth.  That got me sweating.

I was wishing I had a sofa or some accessories....you know that is just the way I roll.

Seriously though I was thinking "I better hurry cause the crowds will be here soon and I want it to be perfect for them!"  Also,  I was  hoping that someone would bring me some Starbucks coffee.  Scott's people......take note.  Your coffee sucks.

Let's see...it is 9:30...tick tick tick. Well maybe I will just sit for a minute and take a break.

Where is everybody?

9:40....sold 2 pillows.....BAM

Ok I got this.

UM...not really.

Y'all I was staring down people.  I would compliment something they were wearing just to get them to stop and LOOK at my pillows.  It was like the floor was burning hot coals in front of my booth and they had to run to get over them.

Oh no...not on my watch.  I am here to sell.

Then Patty showed up.  All the way from Griffin, Ga.  Just to see me.  And the pillows.

I am not sure when we met in blogland but she has been blogging since 2008!  And can I tell you how dang sweet she is?

I recognized her right away so with hugs all around, even to MC [her handsome husband] who acted as chauffeur, we got down to pillow "bidness" and some chit chat.

She had all of her fabrics and threw them down like a good hand in poker.

Boom.

I swiped this from her post :)

It was serendipity.  Behold the heavens opened up and the angels starting singing.  We happened to have the perfect pillows for her room.

  

Here she is smiling and  holding her bad ass pillows like it was  the winning Lotto ticket!  How cute is she :)


Now here is where it gets complicated.  She did not have any money with her.  OK...that is not entirely true....no checks or cash.  I WAS NOT losing a sale [not really people they were perfect]....so I  blurted out  "I'll write the check".  And I did.  Cause who could not trust this face?


Besides I would hunt her down like ants looking for the only crumb on the counter.


Anyway it was the highlight of my day!  


After that it was slow going.  The only other sale I made was to a sweet girl and her Mom.  And get this...after 30 minutes of looking for the perfect pillow for her plan...she lives in my neighborhood.


What?  I know.


So that was my day.  6 pillows.  I felt like such a loser.  There were a few other people who came by to say hi.  They DID NOT purchase any pillows.  You know who you are.  


K...here are the pillows from Scott's this month.

Got to love this one.

A little Zimba in green.

Some vintage chevron.

Some Pierre Frey fabric

I love this Schumacher fabric.  These were on sale too!!!

Bamboozle

Fur baby

I don't recognize this fabric.  I know...huh?

Zeeeeeebra

Hot damn.

yup...like it.

Dark gray velvet....

Schumacher....looks good with some shiny orange.

So check out these poufs!

Shazam.....

info.

Out of my price range [free] but I wanted it...:(

filled up with some pretty plants.

Same as mine...

Only I painted.

Of course this was a year ago...things have changed :)

Should have gotten...real cheap.

I took this picture to show you how much better furniture looks with feet....

Just my opinion but I think it gives it more presence...especially on carpet.

Leaving you with this.  What my hair looks like when I wake up.


A few more comments about my experience.  It was slow.


  So slow.  


For a while I sat in my chair and just evaluated outfits.  I thought about handing out cards with numbers....like 1 meant.... hideous...go home and change right now...in fact don't go home...do not spend one more minute in that outfit.  Get naked and burn it in the parking lot.  How about a small glance before you leave the house.....do you have any mirrors?


10 was gimmee that outfit.  Everything.  All of it.  I am not sure I saw any 10's.


But that little game will keep you entertained for a while.  That and the lemon pound cake.


Sherika out.

ps....thanks for all of the eyebrow advice....you know I need it :)
