Coming to Work is Wonderful!!!!!

I love to come to work. There are many reasons why I feel that way. I work with a really fabulous bunch of women. They are all good at what they do and they are happy to be here. Not to mention they are fun. I love to open the door each day to my charming vintage store front. I really enjoy all the lovely customers that we have. Many are very interesting and most are fun.

This season I especially love to come to work, because the store is gloriously full of beautful things. I am constantly planning samples for the dressmakers to make. We hang samples in the store so people can see what our patterns and fabrics really look like in a finished project. My mind is running wild with all the possibilities of samples we can make. I have to really censor my creative juices or I will be using up the inventory. Karen is making up shawls and scarves for us to sell this holiday season. We came up with so many beautiful combinations that I had to say stop! We could have done several more with all our lovely velvets, burnouts and silks.

The wools in our inventory are so rich and luscious. It would be easy to make up skirts or tops in 25 or 30 options. We have loads of dupioni colors and Vietnamese Silks. They are incredibly luxurious because of their color and sheen.

The fabrics are so nice that the girls banter over who is going to get to sample each bolt or reroll the ones from tubes to bolts. I love it when they are that excited. So I come back to why I love to come to work. I work with wonderful people and I sell beautiful things. Who wouldn't love to come to work. Joyce
