Here is the Barbara Heath - Studio Sale mailer for 2009

[Malcolm Enright]

Everyone who dares to commission is rewarded once a year. The invites go out in the mail to commissioners only, retailer's stock is returned and run-out to make way for next year's new makes. Everyone wins! Some customers only come once a year, others never do sales but in the main it is down to the hard-core followers, elbow to elbow in air-conditioned comfort. There are also two or three customers who assist with managing the mayhem, lets face it they know every style - every gem and the tags have the all important data: retail/wholesale/now.
