A new week and month for Sumptuosity, we were in the studio early and sorting through yesterday's post, a few cheques included which is always great, though most of our remittances are electronic these days; there were a couple of telephone messages too, one existing stockist wanting to place an order, the second was a big surprise, our first contact from a National Trust outlet. Then a couple of hours later a call from a second National Trust outlet; it seems that they have all received their new catalogues which include our products, so two NT order on the first day of the month, not bad.
I had to go through my least pleasant task again today - chasing payment, hopefully, most chases seem genuinely forgotten or misplaced invoice &c.
Tuesday is always busy, firstly with administration of the electronically received trade orders received over the weekend and then with silk preparation - cutting, vilening, circling; the girls race away with their embroidery after a couple of days away; the studio shop was busier than usual again today (which is great), we're enjoying the people browsing and buying but strangely customers always seem to turn-up in droves during lunch time, interrupting our lunch!
A large post run this afternoon and our first purchase shipped to Russia, seems they appreciate Alice in Wonderland there too.
More trade orders arriving electronically as I type, time for printing and filing.
