FOOT RANCH, CA —

Venus Home Fashions, a domestic manufacturer of sheets and bath towels based here, has appointed Pat Bullock to the new post of Eastern regional sales manager.

"Our sales are really picking up, and we need someone full-time who will work only for us," said Vivie von Walstrom, director of business development.

Prior to that stint, she worked as an independent sales representative with Faribo, Bates of Maine and Dakotah. She also has retail experience, having started out in various buying and management positions with Federated/Macy's, Frederick Atkins and Allied Stores.

Starting her new position on May 12, Bullock is based in New York at the Venus Home's offices and showroom at 295 Fifth Avenue.

She will oversee all of Venus's New York-area retail accounts.

She reports to von Walstrom and John Wallace, national sales manager, who is based at headquarters.
