This week has been busy. On Monday Rachel and I finished organizing the trim closet. I called vendors to check for pricing and availability. I assisted the designer find a fabric selection.
On Tuesday I called vendors for pricing and availability. I assisted the designer find a fabric that fits the client needs. Rachel and I went through Miles Tabbot fabrics to find the discontinues. I also order memo for the designer to give the client.
On Wednesday and Thursday Rachel had to assist on a job which means I was alone assisting the designers. It was busy and stressful, but it seems like a handle it well. I called vendors to check for pricing and availability. I also assisted designers to find fabrics and furniture. Thursday was a little slower. I called vendors to check if the catalogs we had were current. I went through a discontinue list and marked the patterns that were discontinuing.
On Friday I called vendors to check for pricing and availability. I also assisted designers find a specific fabrics books. We received new books of fabrics. Before we put the new books away, I pull out the pricing so the client doesn’t see the suggested retail prices.
