The color is all wrong, really grateful to be burned on a $2.00 sample rather than that nameless company with the no hassle return policy:
You buy it... it's wrong? Ha! Sorry about your luck!
I call Abi, I explain the situation, apologetically I explain the color barrier. Formulating a plan I now have a piece of the construction, and with proper images I will be able to get an accurate quotation on a custom from our mill.
I am also putting a call into the competition, downtown to see what they come up with.
Once again she visits the boutique. Pillow in hand.
Perhaps I am somewhat co-dependant, I really want to help her though. She is so grateful. We look at the pillow, and the trimming. Which still doesn't match. There is silence.
Her eyes look up at me and she says, "So what do we do now?" Abi seems totally facinated by the fact that the trimming is the wrong color. She comments on how strange it is that it is exactly the same, but the wrong color.
Things I know at this point:
The trim is the wrong color.
I have found the manufacturer.
I tell her to call me in a few days... and we will see.
