Today was such a long day. We woke up at 4:45 A.M. to be at the train station by 5:45 let me tell you how enjoyable this was. It took me like 4 cups of coffee just to feel normal. As far as energy goes I was diggin deep all day long. Anyway we went to Brintons Carpets which is in Birmingham. I guess this town is famous for carpets for a really long time but Brintons is the most successful. They are know for the capability to do large casinos and having cutting edge style and execution. We were broken up into groups and we did a 4 part tour. Our first section was in the archives with Yvonne who was fabulous. She showed us some patterns that were so old I don't even know if people were alive back then but this stuff was really dated, but super cool. Then we went to the designers and had a question answer time where we just picked their brains and they told us new things that they were working on and I thought it was really interesting. After that we had a lunch that they paid for and it was full of sandies and chips and o.j. very nice gesture, these people definitly know what's up. Then we had the cutest old man give us a tour of the lumes and we really hit it off. It was just him, Erika, and I we laughed and he made some dirty jokes but it was hilarious. Then we met with John and he just basically spoke about the history of Brintons. It was very interesting but honestly I caught myself falling asleep several times and I'm pretty sure he caught me too. Oh well. Other than that Erika and I have purchased our tickets for Amsterdam and we are leaving Friday morning and will not be back until Sunday. The break is going to be awesome can't wait. We also had an assignment to design some fabric patterns that were inspired from the museums that we have visited over the past two days. As of now just sippin on a beer and Erika is making us a salad for dinner. Good Night. long but fun day.
P.s. if you look closely at some other pics I have added then you will see where I channeled my inspiration....it's like a game. try it out.
