3 days to go!

All the tenants in the pop up shop congregated today to go over a few things such as shop timings, events, music, loading dock, you know, all that sort of stuff. There are 5 pop-up shops in the space, total! We are located in the center just beyond the entrance...there is a furniture shop to the left of us, and three clothing/shoes shops to the right that travel deep back into the space. I did not realize how big the space was! I was glad I finally got to see the interior of the shop. Sort of what I had pictured...high ceilings, white walls, room to do whatever we want. Our shelves and tables are there, completely built, waiting to be filled with our great merchandise...our mannequins are there too, waiting patiently to be dressed....they must be getting cold!!! ;)

I think the shop is really going to come out great, especially with the creative minds of Nathalie and Gita. They are really great at coming up with such innovative ideas! Natalie made a good point today...our Christmas tree is made out of empty paint cans....now what happens if a sudden gust of wind knocks all of them down...or someone knocks into them and topples them over...and I wouldn't be surprised if that someone was me! Well, good thing she brought that up because we need to find a way to work around that! Fill the cans with sand? Stick them together with duck tape? She also suggested a few different ideas for the tree, which of course, I won't share here, but our Christmas tree is one you will definitely one you won't want to miss! Yes...I am super excited about it! So funky!

Next, we had another mission! We had to find a couch and round table. We wanted a couch in the space so your kids/husbands etc sit down and relax while you go through and try on our merchandise, much of which you won't be able to find at our store at Cross Keys! We needed a round table to stand our Christmas tree on, so it can stand high and tall in the sky! Thanks to Michael Beatty, our mission was complete within a matter of minutes!

3 days to pop-up! Woo hoo!
