Gosh folks, where do I even start with this one?
At the beginning would be best.....so Killa B and I went to Florida to see my 92 year old Uncle I had not seen in 35 years. Total Bible thumping m effer. Killa B had a very special pillow she took everywhere with her. A magenta pill shaped pillow with the word, "Imagine" in cursive embroidered on it. This thing had seen better days as it had started to lose its filling and get a bit dirty and become too old to clean but she loved it very much. When we returned our rental car, with all the hustle and bustle, she forgot it. Some of you might say, how could she forget something she loved so much. Well, we all make mistakes and Killa B is no exception, things happen. We emailed Enterprise rent a car but to no avail, it never turned up.
Its been a year and I was sitting around thinking, hmmm, how do I outdo her birthday last year. I took her to Disney World. She always wanted to do that but this one had to be from the heart. Something no one would think of. Ah yes, the pillow. I went online and found an extremely similar pillow as far as color and size but lets be honest people, where am i gonna find a magenta pillow that looks like a pillow that says imagine on it? Cant be done.
Enter 707 Embroidery Zone and Emily Kent and crew.
I emailed them one afternoon on a whim thinking, they aren't going to take a little job like this. Within 10 or 15 minutes I get a very personable email back from this Emily person asking what she can do and what they can do and they are open to whatever I need. I explain the sitch in detail and I relay that this Emily person I have never met is an absolute Angel and she comes back with this kind of project makes her day. Mind you this is a very, very small job and I am going to a place that does mass jobs for people. Im talking hats, shirts, jackets...hey folks they even do vinyl wraps for cars and trucks.....they might even do the Saleen! Well they will if I can get some gainful employment...hint....hint anyone out there! I finally got the pillow in the mail and ran down there double time. Emily comes out with a damn halo over her head, cuz I told you shes an Angel and she is like the nicest young lady I have ever met and is just so down to earth. She made me feel right at home and super special cuz lets be realistic.....im a big ol dude in an embroidery place getting a little pillow sewn up. Kind of weird. She asked me every aspect of what I needed....oh dont let me forget the very nice lady at the front counter....she gave me a little tour of there showroom while i was waiting which was super cool. I told Emily I needed my project done by the 10th of September and she said no problem. They sent me several corresponding emails showing me mock ups and everything and it was done today and I picked it up. I presented it to my wife and we were both in tears. That says it all right there. A perfect job done by perfect people at a perfect price.
I cant wait to go back for my vinyl wrap. read more
