We finished our last show there and it was a complete success. We almost doubled the figures from last year. Some people needed more fall 2009 to fill their stores for winter as they've sold everything. Then we showed all of spring to those customers who had not seen spring. We also introduced the summer line to over 50 customers. The response was outstanding. The summer line was smaller than spring so we were able to see more people and show them in a shorter amount of time. Both lines are fabulous, what can we say?&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/DSC02118.JPG?a=64"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Next on the agenda is Arizona and Albuquerque on November 1st for one week. Please make appointments with Tyler to see spring, summer and fall 2009. He will be calling as he will be traveling the entire week and you don't want to miss this "home run," season. We have added in two new colors for the gorlitza skirt. The first will be white with red and blue bric brac which is called The Patriot. And the second one has a delft blue body with red and white bric brac The style numbers are S1379 for the short one at $49.00 and S1397 for the long one at $65.00.&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/DSC02165.JPG?a=23"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Shelli and Colin are leaving for Santa Ynez, California to do a trunk show at Outpost. They have many customers and many of them are equestrians. We are expecting a very successful trunk show there. Might even sneak in a dinner in Santa Barbara.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That wraps up the traveling until January 2010. Then the frenzy starts again with Denver WESA, which is our biggest show in the year and back to Dallas. We will be introducing fall of 2010 and showing spring/summer who haven't seen them yet.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/DSC02160.JPG?a=13"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Please see spring on our website which is materialthings.com or you may call us at 877-295-1445 to ask questions or place an order.

The first one is our Albquerque market which runs from October 16th-18th. We will be showing Double D for Spring 2010. The name of this season is "East Meets West, Culture Clash." &lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/DSC01918.JPG?a=3"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We will show you an infusion of eastern and western flair combined together in many pieces. You will see brightly colored rodeo shirts that can be paired with gorlitza skirts (spanish influence). Fushcia, Berry, Ming Green, Indonesian Ivory, to name just a few are some of the colors for spring.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The October Dallas Market is one of our largest in the year, so we encourage you to make an appointment. At this market, we show spring and all the new pieces for summer 2010.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Attendance is way up, so we are calling and emailing for apppointments.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Tyler is leaving this Friday, October 9th, for the Tobacco Leaf's Trunk Show. Shelli and Colin will be going November 6th and 7th&amp;nbsp;for Outpost's trunk show in Santa Ynez, California.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We just completed a wonderfully, successful show at Ranch at the Rim, in San Antonio Texas. It was a benefit for the American Cancer Society The event was completely catered and featured 22 models. Many of the models had experienced cancer themselves. Double D's clothes looked so great!!! The Double D girls came up from Yoakum, Texas, also. Ranch at the Rim has a fabulous section designated for Double D clothing. To get first spring deliveries, all spring paper should be in by October 20th at the latest.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/DSC01905.JPG?a=7"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;There is some fall 2009 merchandise that you can order and have it in your store long before the holidays. We will have all pieces with us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We look forward to seeing you soon. Spring has been a huge hit so come see what the hubhub &lt;BR&gt;has been all about. Our toll free number is 877-295-1445.&lt;/P&gt;

Crazy. Many customers ordered alot of Fall as it has sold so well in their stores with many months to go before Spring arrives. If you need more product, it is selling down, please act now to secure any merchandise that you need for the coming months. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/DSC01912.JPG?a=88"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Spring has been a major hit. The colors are vibrant and fabulous. The theme of Spring is East Meets West- Culture Clash, where you will see Asian fusion meet with Western Lifestyle. Treatments are with mirrors, jewels, embroidery. Different necklines, sleeves and body lengths add to all the excitement. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Our numbers significantly surpassed last years shows. We couldn't be more joyous that our customers are diggin' the new line for Spring. If you haven't attended any of these shows, you truly have missed the frenzy, the excitement in the air, and what feels like at least in the apparel business, a recovery taking place on the financial scene. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Please email us at &lt;A href="mailto:materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com"&gt;materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp; if you need a brochure.

In fact, at our first market showing in Dallas, Texas mid August, Double D Ranch broke records in attendance and numbers. Much to our delight and despite the economic times, our showroom was a frenzy and we feel we can attribute to Cheryl's unique vision into fashion's future and trends, her extensive research and her to true devotion to her craft. This is what has kept Double D Ranchwear on top of the women's apparel world for over 20 years.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Double D Ranch's, Spring 2010 collection, is a dichotomy of mixing various cultures and melding them into this season's "Culture Clash Theme." It's not about opposites and diverse cultures, but about connections, unity and faith around the world. "Culture Clash," simply put, is a where east meets west.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/IMG_8836.JPG"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Color, and lots of it, is still important for this selling season. Double D Ranch's color palette pulls it's color inspiration from Holi or India's Festival of Colors. Then (&lt;A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/holi.(saturated"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/holi.(saturated&lt;/A&gt; oranges, juxtaposed to fresh berry colors are key. An intense ming-green melds with vibrant yellows and true reds, keeping the color palette fun and fresh. The key to making the palette work is white and it's liberal use&amp;nbsp; in keeping all of the intense colors beautifully tamed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This season we are seeing a delft mixing of western playfulness, gypsy junking, and asian flair in Double D Ranch's Spring Collection. Colorful, bright folk embroideries are key with motifs ranging from Mexican florals, Chinese dragons, Mendhi tattoos, and the tried and true; western cowgirl. Graphics and embroidery say so much; they tell us a story. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/IMG_8076.jpg"&gt;Since 1993, crosses have played an important role in the designs for Double D Ranchwear. Cheryl McMullen, is always ready to give God the sole and soul credit for each and every collection. The Christian cross can be seen symbolically throughout her collection this season.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We hope that by sharing Cheryl's inspirations, you will understand and be able to explain how the designer got her ideas for this upcoming spring season. Cheryl spends countless hours researching future fashion trends along with circa eras to bring you and your customer the best that Double D strives to always offer. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/IMG_8141.JPG"&gt;Please post your thoughts and your pictures from your stores or your customers on our blog. It will be seen by at least 500 to 600 other stores that are Double D Devotees. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;The September WESA show runs Sept. 11-14. We are currently making appointments for that show also. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The October show in Dallas is Oct. 21-25 at the World Trade Center. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/IMG_8733a.jpg"&gt;The Albquerque, New Mexico show is Oct. 15-18 at the Clubhouse Inn on Menaul.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;The year is 3/4 over and Double D is really starting to rev up on its Fall sales.

Then bright and early we drove to Albuquerque to do a trunk show at Trudy's, The Wild Rose. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/Santa_Fe_Trip_1003_314.jpg"&gt;Both shows were a complete success. It certainly leads us to believe what we hear. That the economy is turning around. Both stores served lunch to their customers, which is always greatly appreciated. The items that caused the "feeding frenzy," were the Balalaika Folk Art Dress and all the Fleece Jackets. In Trudy's store, we completely sold out of the dress. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/Trudys.jpg"&gt;Remember, it is made in four colors and the price is only $45.00.(Style D877) We'll have many winter months ahead so we are still going to make the dress. There is a minimum on that dress which is 6 pieces, any size, any color. Less than $300.00 total. It clearly fits any body size and it is a great buy. The fleeces have a 3 piece minimum also. It has to be the same piece, any price, any color at $99.00. The fleece designs are The Last Stand C1952, which comes in Loden, Black and Romanov Red. The Peace Jacket C1934, is available in Dark Olive, Dark Heathered Gray and Romanov Red and the Zhostovo Folk Art Jacket C1950 comes in the Red, the Balalaika Blue and Black. The Minden C1964 is Red or Black and the Dig 'Em C1959 is Heathered Gray and Loden. The sizes are XS through XL and 1X and 2X. All tee shirts run in the same size availability and they are $2.00 extra for 1X and 2X and the fleeces are $10.00. They will be ready in early November as they sold out.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/Michelle_and_ladies.jpg"&gt;The upcoming Dallas Market which is August 13th throught the 16th at the World Trade Center is at 2050 Stemmons Freeway. Our suite number is #14595.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Vegas Market is August 31st through the 3rd of September. We will be doing the WINN Show at the Rio Hotel. We will be in the Amazon Room A2127. Both markets are filling up with appointments, so we would like to encourage you to call or email us at 877-295-1445 or via email, &lt;A href="mailto:materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com"&gt;materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/Santa_Fe_Trip_1003_311.jpg"&gt;September WESA, of course, is always in Denver.

&lt;P&gt;We didn't forget you! All three of us have been on the road more than half of the summer. And, can you believe that August 1,&amp;nbsp; 2009 is almost here? We here that shipping is going so well and we are really pleased. Of course, call us with any questions or concerns.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We have a lot to tell you. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;First of all, we have decided not to carry Coreen Cordova jewelry any longer. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We want to introduce you to Kim Yubeta. Kim is a native American Indian who lives in Tubac Arizona, She has been featured for some time in Simply Santa Fe in Sante Fe, New, Mexico, Crosby Gallery in Park City Utah and Karen Newby Gallery in Tubac Arizona. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/Snap1.jpg"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Her work is so fabulous, like nothing we've ever represented, so it is flying out the doors. Some stores have already picked up her collection, so we need to be careful to protect the stores that have her.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;IMG src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/0/7/8/4/7/185460-174870/KIM_NP_06_001[1].jpg"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please visit our website which is materialthingshowroom.com to view her work. She can customize her pieces and each piece comes with a complete explanation of every stone and gemstone included If you decide you might like some pieces, basically, you need to jump on it. Every piece is one of a kind. She can create similar certainly. Please visit and revisit the website to review what we represent and fall/holiday Double D.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We will be in Dallas (Room # 14595) for the Double D introduction of Spring 2010. This is a busy, busy market so we will be calling for appointments. If you already know when you want to come in, just call us at 877-295-1445. We realize that many of you prefer not making appointments, but it really helps us in planning who will be in and when so no one needs to wait at all. We also need to know how much lunch to prepare. Later margueritas and popcorn. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;August 31st we will be doing the WINN Show at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas (Room # A2127). Another busy show. Whenever we introduce the new season, there is a bit of a frenzy. Again, we will be calling or feel free to call us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Tyler has been traveling through the mountains quite a bit seeing whoever wants to see him. You can still see fall and after the middle of August we can show you Spring 2010, providing it doesn't conflict with a market.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The huge market in Denver is WESA. This year it is September 11th-14th at the Denver Merchandise Mart. All of our collections will be there in our two rooms, which are 3363 and 3364. Make your hotel, flight and car rental reservations early in the game. There are lots of stores that attend this market. If you stay close to the Mart, most of them provide shuttles. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We look forward to a great season. Our goal is to assist you in anyway we can to make 2010 successful for all of us.&lt;/P&gt;

All of our customers are starting to read it and post. It is free advertising and a captive audience.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Colin and I and Tyler just completed the Dallas Market which was Thursday until Sunday. Our business was the best in years, so go figure! Almost twice the business in the last few years. Get it? Double D? It was so nice to already see fall tee shirts on some of our customers. Delivery and production are so great and we can thank Hedy for that. She is on it!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Tyler is on the road for one more week at least through the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. He has made some great sales, so that is so encouraging in this economy. If you were concerned and didn't order enough spring/summer Double D, don't get caught again! We ran out and so did the stores. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The orders for Fall 1+2 are completely wonderful. Try to catch Tyler on the road when we call for a personal appearance. Call us at 877-295-1445 or our address, &lt;A href="mailto:materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com"&gt;materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com&lt;/A&gt;. You should have received the new green picture catalogue by now. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;We are getting so many calls and orders, that we suggest you look at it before certain pieces are no longer available. If you need one, just let us know. All of Fall 1+2 are on our website whereas the photo catalogue doesn't have every piece.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We look forward to hearing from you soon!&lt;/P&gt;

But, I won't lie to you, half of it was for vacation also. We traveled along the coast of California and Colin took me on a whistle stop tour of hot spots I had never seen. Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Solvang, The Hearst Castle, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Truckee, Carmel, Sausalito, San Francisco and Monterrey. It was a great time and I am so glad I saw this part of our country. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Okay, we did work. We visited some of our great accounts and it is always wonderful to see their stores. In some of the stores, we were really fortunate to meet some of their best customers. We would no sooner take Double D out of the clothes bags and the jewelry and it created quite the frenzy. Remember, on our website, &lt;A href="http://www.materialthingsinc.com"&gt;www.materialthingsinc.com&lt;/A&gt;, there is an opportunity to write about your store and even scan a pic or two. Take advantage of this, we all need the free advertisement with a great audience especially.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can also use our drop down Adobe order forms for all of the jewelers and clothing we represent.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you wish to place an order or ask any questions, please call us at 877-295-1445, or fax-303-295-1445 or our email is &lt;A href="mailto:materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com"&gt;materialthingsshowroom@gmail.com&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;ps-we still have some spring/summer that could be sent directly to your store if you are low on merchandise. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://blog.materialthingsinc.com/2009/06/01/home-from-our-west-coast-trip.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">bb3c4b7b-ce61-48ee-91a2-3ec816b8179d</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:32:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>California Here we Come</title><link>http://blog.materialthingsinc.com/2009/05/12/california-here-we-come.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Colin and Shelli</dc:creator><description>&lt;P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;Hi Everyone&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;This is a first for us, so wish us luck! We are packing our bags for California. Double D Ranchwear and jewelry is what we want to sell, not looking for movie stars. But oil would be fine, Texas Tea!&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;We will be arriving into Santa Barbara on May 18th. It better still be there. Santa Ynez on the same day. We would like to come by your store and say "Hi." &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Have you seen Double D Fall 1 and Fall 2? It is fabulous and has been selling off the charts. Please see our website, which is, &lt;A href="http://www.materialthingsinc.com"&gt;www.materialthingsinc.com&lt;/A&gt;. We scanned every style and color for Fall 2009 on the website. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Also, we have all of the pillows and bedding. They are wonderful! The photos of the pillows and bedding are on line as well. In addition, we will have all of the jewelry designers,Coreen Cordova, Vintage Revival, Kim Yubeta, Don Lucas and Del Corazon. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;We also want to introduce you to Juan Antonio handbags. We fell in love. Please view our website in the next couple of days. My goal is to get all of the Moulin Rouge Handbag pictures scanned in for your orders. There are too many to take to California. We do very, very well with them.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Solvaing is our next stop and then San Luis Obispo. We will also be in San Simeon, "think we can sell to Hearst's Castle?" I've never seen Carmel, Monterray, Pebble Beach, Burlingame, Merced, and then who knows? &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;The last stop on this whistle stop tour will be in Stockton to see Colin's parents and then Lake Tahoe. Have I worn anyone out yet?&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;This is just California. Then we will be doing the June Women's Apparel Show in the Dallas Merchandise Mart. The dates for that show are June 4th-7th. Our room number is 14595. Tyler will be traveling through the rest of the State of Texas and he will be also driving through Oklahoma and Kansas on his way home to Denver. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Shelli and Colin will also be traveling to Albuquerque, Taos, Ruidoso, New Mexico, and through the Rocky Mountain's. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;We have registered to have our own booth in the Cody Show at the Denver Merchandise Mart, June 26-28th. This is suppose to be a great show! Never know until you try.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;We would love to see you. Please call for appointments and we will stop in. The toll free number is 877-295-1445 and Colin's cell phone is 303-229-8335. Again, the trip starts&amp;nbsp; on May 18th and we will be back to Denver on May 27th. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Also, on our website we have a blog. We invite you to post a blog about your store.&amp;nbsp; You can scan in a picture as well. Of course, it needs to be clean or it won't pass approval.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon,&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;Colin and Shelli Brockman&lt;BR&gt;Tyler Stone&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

Yes, Wednesday at O dark thirty, the silver bullet, aka Chrysler Town and Country will be leaving Denver for Santa Fe and the Albuquerque Show in the Clubhouse Hotel. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The van will be chock full of Double D Ranchwear, Fall 1+2, Double D infamous leather, suede and various other fabric pillows, Vintage Revival Jewelry, Coreen Cordova Jewelry, Moulin Rouge Handbags, Don Lucas Jewelry and Sarape Girl coats, vests and housewears (table runners, place mats, kitchie items). &lt;/P&gt;

We would deem it successful. It was beneficial to all of us and our stores to see their stores and access what they might need including any merchandising. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;With this blog, we encourage our stores to send us web ready photos so that we can post them to the blog. Fall 1 and 2 orders from Double D are very strong, considering the conditions of our economy, so there is great hope! Some of the stores are holding off on jewelry orders to they come into full season again which would be September or after. It will soon become too hot in Arizona for tourism. Coreen Cordova, one of our leading jewelry collections is offering a"Traveling Trunk Show." Coreen will send your store thousands of dollars of jewelry for you to have for 5-6 days. The beauty of this is that you may have a trunk show, introduce the collection to existing customers and new ones as well. The fee is completely nominal and you virtually have no costs or obligation to have her one of a kind pieces, pendants, charms and chains in your store. May is filled up and we are working on scheduling through the end of the year, so don't dilly dally, call us for your date.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Colin and Shelli will be in Santa Fe and Albuquerque from April 15th through the 19th doing our trunk show in Albuquerque and visiting our stores in Santa Fe. Please call us for an appointment to see Double D and any of the jewelry and handbag collections. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Tyler will be traveling for almost two weeks to Montana and Wyoming. It would be important to call for appts. there as well. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Some of you haven't seen Fall/Winter for Double D and the line is fabulous. Cheryl has created so many tees and these great fleece jackets which are only $99.00. There are no t-shirts over $55.00. Please view our web pages to see what we represent. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Our phone number is 877-295-1445. There is also a drop down page for ordering what you see in the web site.
