The Pandemic of course was a superior reason I couldn't move ahead. But I could have been planning...frankly I was afraid none of us would see a future. However, during that time, I found a fantastic friend who belongs to all channels internet it seems. He is a kind man and head of a huge portion of docks in Georgia. He is my friend. He let me ask him about my plans to sail a "boat" to collect and deliver my fabric products....etc. He told his friends and I was then offered temporary warehouse spaces by my new friends at the docks at no charge. Imagine that!
I was left a magnificent building in a magnificent placement by my father. He took me to the building and introduced me to the different areas throughout the building. There were other smaller buildings he took me to - "Yours', if you want 'em Kit, he said.". Of course I said I wanted them right away.
All four corners going around it by Interstate and/or highway, right there.....huge parking lot. Big for semi's and traffic coming from around the United States and people wanting to travel through St. Louis, MO or Chicago, IL.... I'm right in the middle. Springfield, IL.
We will accept fabric books only, but will be represented by Country Name with signage inside a certain area rented by the countries offering new designs, fabric weight (very, very important) and colors (missing pastels it seems? ).
So, we will have semi's delivery and pick-ups of orders by online. I would suggest highly a trip from all directions by seamstresses looking at a world of talent, color and enjoyment. Cars, trains, buses will be able to ferry curious talented women and men to the center for fabric creations.
Here is the bad horrible news. My sister would not give me the keys to my building! She sold it for taxes. I knew nothing about this. She is the evil sister, well there are more. I drove by it last week and it is empty....it is waiting I am sure. Here is the other horrible news: this evil sister and step brother walked off with their arrangement - one owned the parking lot and the other took possession of the keys of my building. I just found all this out...I never dreamed they would take all the money, all the buildings, and I hope all the shame. I could go on about the millions that got disbursed.....my name was not there. I made his first successful company happen. Just him and me. I left after the first million was made. His pregnant girlfriend (my age) pranced in and took over with a big diamond ring. I left for my medical life. I was finally happy and free to learn what I, Kitty, loved. 17 years at an 800 bed hospital. I held many positions....no surgery though - not that I wasn't willing to give it a try! When I left the hospital I started my very own business, actually three of them. They ran during the 10 years of constant challenge and enjoyment.
There is nothing like seeing your thoughts in motion.!k
To be continued..... (my building now sits empty!) Only a week ago, I drove to it and looked in every single window. Mine...I could rent it from the auction owners. The parking lot? I don't know about that and I am in the process of investigating. k
I have good friends in 5 countries....I have a view....Prince says there are fees for all trades arriving at their docs from my traders. I will be a Broker.
