fabulous! fantastic! good.

Yay! Life is fabulous!

So, as you may or may not know, visual merchandising fascinates me. I'm always totally impressed by an amazing window or store display. Marketing also makes me happy, how you word things, act, etc, actually plays a role in what people think about a certain product, whether or not they will buy it. I love it.

So, also as you may know, my aunt is opening up consignment store on 16th and Cambie,(six blocks up from the City Hall skytrain station on the Canada line)and I get to play a part in it. I am going to be working there Thursdays - Sundays, and I get to design the windows and store displays!!!!

I am very very excited, also very nervous, because as much as I love it I haven't had too much experience. I am thrilled though because it really is a once in a lifetime situation.

Now I have an excuse to look up all the visual merchandising information that I want, and for it to not be wasting time. This also gives me a way back into the city. Hopefully I'll be able to move out there and work full time eventually.

Merchandising is a fabulous creative outlet, I'm always so stoked to see what people will think of, what themes, colours, details that they use. It's amazing.

I lost seven pounds.

On the social front, last weeks games night was a success. Pretty funny head bandz game that we played for HOURS! Also MARGARITA NIGHT is on Friday, and I'm getting pretty excited about, I still don't know what I'm going to wear. I really do have an awesome group of friends who make my days so happy!


Another thing that just made me super happy, was that Tal and I settled into the couch to watch some home and garden television, and it just happened to be on the movie channel, and it just happened to be play ANNIE HALL and it just so happened to only be about 15 minutes in!

So the dilemma is I have piano history, grade 10 piano, I have 8 piano students at the moment, coming up with a window design for the store opening, researching designers, plugged in (grade 7 and 8 group at the church)!!!!

My day planner is like a golden scepter.

I really can't express enough how happy it makes me to be able to be in the city four days a week. It's so inspiring to be around that many people...all the time. I can't wait to see what else life has in store.
