Looking at the caller I.D. I have no idea what to expect. Abi identifies herself when I answer. I know it's her from the caller I.D. she doesn't need to know that. "It's very expensive isn't it?", she asks me. I'm thinking to myself it's all relative, but I say, "yes." She asks me what I think she should do next, and I tell her to give me a couple days to dig and see what I find. It's now a project.
In looking on the net I know she had told me the trim started with a co... and it's French. I don't remember the name of the company and probably really don't care. When crawling around on top of the web, it is important to remember what your immediate tools are. One searches root words and another is an index search engine. The new one I don't really know about, it's new and I am not a fan yet.
Starting a simple strand search... French trim, French Gimp, Gimp with Ribbon. Galloon, Ribbon Trim.... there it is. I think. I look for other sites with the same trimming. None of the pictures are very good. The price however is amazing.
Hmm. Excitedly I call Abi. I give her the 800 number explaining my findings. I advise Abi to call and request a sample to match the color, that way if there is a charge for the sample I will not have to go through the process of getting a card number. Abi is very grateful. If she has a problem getting a sample she is to call me. It was pretty simple really. Success!
