&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wow, how fantastic our seminar was at the Pacific Design Center! The response was just terrific! The feedback we received was that our palettes would be an incredibly useful tool to the designers as they would give an excellent starting point to any design project. We already sell some of the largest home textile conve&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_hide&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;rters, manufacturers, and retailers throughout the county.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 class=&quot;UIIntentionalStory_Message&quot; data-ft=&quot;{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;msg&amp;quot;}&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;UIStory_Message&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt;The audience had great questions and were extremely excited about working with us. They were very interested in our Lifestyle report which speaks to the cross over between apparel and home trends.&lt;br /&gt;
Arnie and I look forward to  growing the relationship into a profitable and informative adventure for all!&lt;br /&gt;
Our products will now be available at the Potterton Bookstore, at the PDC&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Your presentation was perfect. It combined the influence of fashion in home fashions. Your color forecast was very well received by the audience of over 100 persons. Your presentation had a lot of valuable information for them since they would be using the insights that they gathered as they walked the show floor and made decisions that would influence what consumers will be offered in the seasons ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Susan Hirsh&lt;br /&gt;Chair person IFDA Color Event&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Elect National IFDA&lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://design-options.blogspot.com/2010/01/ifda-seminar-success.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Design Options)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZau-6E2Q8zyKWvPN_ailWrINWk3QY6WlgmnOaCTjRfcpXv8kT96jgVbyLnwz6j90XrfmsAdiltu-iUUuLs_2iwTNyYfSqkpOdrjfT-R3XRxNXPAHDSl9JklktpcOI4toFLyw8ss_41B4/s72-c/ifda_logo100_sidebar.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
