Carissima Mide1311, ci puoi scommettere ;-)
Certo che ci saranno! Io e Monica saremo proprio nella mitica "stanzona delle stoffe" per tagliare, consigliare e... Insomma, fare tutto il possibile per guidarvi tutte in questo splendido mondo colorato di morbidissime cotonine!!! Magari si formerà un po' di coda, questo è giusto dirlo... Però, varrà la pena aspettare qualche minuto ;-)
A prestissimo :-)

Cara GiPi52776, quest'anno non avremo corsi durante la Festa, poiché essendo per la prima volta direttamente al magazzino e non più al relais dove si è svolta gli altri anni, si tratta anche per noi di una prima volta, appunto, e abbiamo preferito "non mettere troppa carne al fuoco", come si suol dire ;-) Con tutti gli esperti delle aziende partner presenti, comunque, e, ovviamente, tutte noi a servirvi, qualsiasi tipo di consiglio tecnico sarà dispensato più che volentieri!
Speriamo di poterti accogliere sabato e domenica prossimi e un caro saluto.
