Being the mad woman that I am, decided to get to work for 8.30am, why, well I dont even know that one. I took the shop keys home by mistake, so had to get up at the crack of dawn to be the first person in! This does always work in my favor, I have an extra half hour to crack on with any tidying or organising from the previous day.
Am finally sitting down relaxing with a nice glass of wine, watching one of those house programmes with my mum, Not the way as a student I was used to spending my Tuesday evenings, Sitting at a bar was more like it, But these long days and even longer weeks have taken their toll, Now leave those type of evenings to the weekend where I can lie in bed untill lunchtime!
But this is not a complaint about my work, I love it! Have been incredibly busy organising the New Fair Trade products that we sell over christmas, Using my design talent, co-ordinating the visual merchandising of the products.
I was in my element, Not just being in charge, But being able to use my passion for merchandising and visual design in a retail envoronment! I try my upmost to pull our shop out of that charity shop haze, a haze of judgement of what people think traditionally of a charity shop, cheap and cluttered, possibly smelly too! I want the shop to look professional, be proffesional, To make money as a buisness and make money as a charity, while being fair to the customers.
I have the rest of the week to look forward to, Currently trying to get in touch with a man who can hekp me set up a market stall, Will keep posted on that!
