day 6 NYC

the day was a hit! so woke up early and ad breakfast! i was to meet at the studio at 10! so i arrived 15-10 min early! It was great! rand the doorbell and William answered.. he is doing well and looks great as can be! i meet the other two girls. Libby (she goes to school in London!) and Adrianne (lives and goes to school in NC) So we get some run downs of computer things, where stuff is, packing supplies, cleaning supplies, etc! we then had a mission... go to fabric stores and swatch for Leap of Faith and Chicago. We got what we were supposed to look for and headed on our way! we had a blast! Libby and I went to 4 stores... that we spent some time in at least! We went to one store called Le Lame (i think.. will get card again and fabric prices tomorrow) there were 4 guys... they were funny. then we hit the road again and went to B & J, Rosen and Chadick, and New York Elegance fabrics.. in all the stores we met the owners! *** we can swatch anywhere and any fabrics, because we say we are William Ivey Long Assistants; we are swatching for his shows!***
we then had a quick bit around 2:45 is we sat in a Starbucks and ate our packed lunches.. we were going to buy a drink but the line kept getting longer and longer out the door, so we decided to forget about the drink.
We then stopped at small little stores that wouldn't let us swatch, and we told them where we were from.. so we walked out.
Then it was MOOD!! what can I say; we walked in the the elevator, surrounded by models heading to higher floors and getting off that elevator was paradise.. we introduced ourselves to the shop keeper at the front and asked if we could swatch.. she said to wait and she would ask the owner.. well she complained that the line to talk to him was to long, so she made us stand there and wait. so we waited and his associate asked us what we needed and we simply said "we are from William Ivey Long studio, can we please swatch" the owner looked up and said "anything you would like to, please do"... so I was in HEAVEN! well in there we got down maybe 1 aisle or 2.. so we will be back tomorrow! and we saw the cutest mini husky.. made me want one. we got back on the elevator, surrounded by gorgeous models who were a quarter of my body and 1 1/2 of me.. i felt i was the house in the Little house in the city.. because in the book the small country house moves to the city and is surrounded by sky scrapers.. well i felt that way.
On our way we went back to the studio early to get some receipt lessons, copy lessons and scan lessons.. oh and I cant forget Fed EX lessons.. We have a full day again tomorrow.. lots of errands!
good Night
