Big Day...

Today is a big day for Western Stone Company. I've been working on a some project leads in the last few months and last week one finally pulled through. There is a show that is part of the Discovery Channel family called Renovation Nation. I had heard that they where restoring an old house in Boulder and needed a very specific type of flagstone. I did a little research and it was an exact match of the type that was on a friend of Paul's property . It's easy to look at a house and spot flagstone but flagstone is not always the same and this type they had on the house came from a quarry here in Lyons that has been shut down for the last 20 years. I pulled some strings (Paul pulled more), we put in a bid, and we got it! We were allowed to go in and pulled the rock we needed for this project.
The truck stopped in this morning to pick up the rock and it felt great that we could pull it together and get our name out there to thousands of viewers. I think the episode is airing sometime in the next few months but once I get details I will post them!

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

vegas....

 This week has been INSANE! We are in the process of getting ready for one of our largest shows in Vegas that the boys leave for on Saturday. It's one of two shows that we do where we get to put our best foot forward and amaze all the buyers for all the boutiques that we sell to. So we have to get it right. With all the new samples that we have been getting from Peru, having to choose a new line has been tough, too many amazing choices to choose from!  Scary, but this is an alpaca sweater that we produced in the 80's and I just happend upon it while digging around in the warehouse the other day. Trust me we've had a HUGE evolution in our sweaters since then! Still fun to see!  Our new line of cottons. We've got two racks that we are sifting through to find the top 30!  On another note, check out Stella and my dad at the top of Hood with some of the CU kids. She sounds like she's having a blast! Missing her a bunch but we get to see her on Saturday. ...
