friday.


On Wednesday I had the pleasure of taking Danica out as a going away gift because she is moving to Ottawa to be a grad student and I couldnt be more excited for her! She will definitely be one successful lady! We went to Boston Pizza and got pizza...duh! haha. Then we went and go some hot mini cinnamon donuts! Delicious! We headed back to Danica's and she had frozen lemonade(!!!!!!!!!!) I got a little bit too excited. I need to find someone with a Costco membership in Oakville. She showed me  all the stuff she has for her apartment and we talked about how exciting it is to move out!

Yesterday I went to Cedar Point with Karla, I'll share more on that in another post! :)

Today I spent the morning at work and came home, napped and tried to start packing! It's not going too well. But i know I'll get it done! It was SO nice to sit on the couch and watch some TV oh man i needed this break!

everything is now on the floor to allow me to sleep! hahahahaha! better luck tomorrow!

busy busy busy

this week is INSANE

I have no idea how Im going to make it through... every second has been filled with plans! Working, seeing friends, gardening, packing, more work, and i somehow thought it was a good idea to go to Cedar point for the day on thursday.... hahah it'll all be fine, i just have a feeling everyone would be freaking out so i should too but I try not to let these things bother me that much! hahaha. I know everything will get done because it has to and if it doesnt, the world will not end :)

in other fabulous/awesome/amazing news... I definitely got the internship at Anthropologie! I AM BEYOND excited! Their windows are one of the reasons I decided to take VM! I start next friday yeah! :)

Open House -Displays

I apologize if this takes forever to load! I have about a million pictures.. and im not done.

So I had my first Open House! I think it went well, I would have like to have had more guests but i think i picked a bad weekend with it being the end of summer and everyone is trying to get their vacations in before school starts! But I'm super happy how it turned out and I got to apply things Ive learned at school and have a bunch of pictures for my portfolio!



Here's what I did to help display my small products....
This is a thread holder. I think i got this idea from pinterest and it just so happened that this rack was on sale for $5 so i snatched it up and it turned out great! and it added height to my table which is what I wanted.

This is a heart shaped basket i picked up at the party store for $1! I decided to lay it on it's side to make it easier for people to look through all the earrings.

This was just a necklace display I got at Hobby Lobby. 

I needed to find a way to display these dangle earrings without having them on cards(that's too boring) So I took this wire basket turned it upside down and hung them in each of the spaces.

This is some shallow dishes and vase filler from the dollar store to display some more rings.
(idea taken from Meag!)

This is just the main table in the middle!

An embroidery hoop with some canvas stretched across displaying some brooches. I just leaned it up against glass.

This is my baby.. hahahaha. I planned to make this after I started taking product shots on a clothes line! I bought some dowel and my dad and brother helped construct it for me. I hung some strings through some eye hooks and voila!

Same idea as the heart basket. :)

This was just a round silver plater to display the bigger button earrings.

This mini muffin tin helped prop up the cards with brooches on them! super easy! and cute!

This was a box i found at my dad's shop i think it was probably used for some kind of tool but i asked to have it and the slots fit all the bracelets perfectly! 

I think this display was a flop! it doesnt show the product in use so i think people cant visualize it so they were not even touched! 

This was just an piece of wood my brother cut for me. I just pre-drilled some holes and attached some hooks for the necklaces. I could always add more hooks too!

This was for the door prize basket. I printed out some sheets that said NAME and EMAIL and left a like a lady pencil for everyone to fill out and enter the draw!

I put a business card in every bag with purchase along with a cute like a lady pencil. But this is how i displayed my business cards. My favourite Wedgewood teacup from my trip to England :)

I hope you enjoyed my little tour!

thursday

After work on Wednesday i headed over to Chachi's to sleep over so she wasnt home alone. :) haha
The next day we went to Remark's and tried every single salad they had. I had a sesame bun and Chachi got a tuna sandwich and we tried some delicious iced tea! 
We ate our lunch at the park and then headed to detroit to return a few things and pic up Enoc from the airport! We finished the day off with some soup, salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden...of course.






TOMORROW'S THE BIG DAY!
Hosting my first Open House! 
Im really excited.. and a little nervous!
