Exciting new development with Bubby's!

so, three weeks ago riv asked me what i would do if i got an order for 100 shirts and i said i would do it and tell them it would take a month and laughed it off because of course, that was never going to happen...
yesterday i received an email from a woman asking me if i do wholesale, trying to sound as calm and professional as possible, i told her that i have not done wholesale but would love the opportunity, yada yada yada... I half expected her to reply with "oh, i don't wholesale. your stuff is cute and you should try it..."  
anyhow, she didn't respond that why.  she actually owns a children's boutique in hoboken, nj called Itty Bitties (http://www.ittybittiesboutique.com)and wants to add me to their list of designers.  she is ordering seven different designs on eight sizes, 56 shirts in all for her first order!  and if they sell well, who knows what will be next! so riv and i crunched numbers, i talked with dad and he sent me a document to figure out my GPM, and last night i sent her the price and timeline and she accepted.
now they just have to get made!  i already have mom sewing her butt off.  riv has become mr. mom when he is home so that i can get stuff done.  it's all so exciting and daunting at the same time but i think we've done good considering bubby's one month anniversary is tomorrow.

p.s. if anyone out there reading this post lives in the bay area and owns a sewing machine, let me know.  i can put ya to work!
