busy week here. but exciting. obviously work is non-stop two-way traffic. it’s great. i’m loving the pace. i’m loving everyone’s energy and dedication. and i’m loving being back in the ‘ideas seat’. my soul is rapidly recovering from wanting to throw itself into a rusty meatgrinder in aid of escaping boredom.
meanwhile, i had a moment of bravery a week or so ago, and signed ChicBones Vintage up to be a part of the Vintage Experience Autumn Harvest Market at Truth Coffee in Buitenkant Street tomorrow eve at 5pm onwards. I’ve never been a part of a market, set up a stall, or anything like that. yeah, it’s ‘informal trading’, but i feel nervous. silly, huh? Luckily i was up in Johannesburg this weekend for a little family visit and i managed to convince my mum that the Wits Hospice is a cool hangout. we had a lot of fun actually, and i sourced so much cool crap that i found it hard not to keep the lot for my personal wardrobe. really, there are so many gems up there. i was thinking of taking a buying trip up there later on in the year. my mum’s obviously in.

so yeah, going to spend the night in a cinderella-like fashion – sorting garments, cutting and pinning labels, and just planning how i’m going to set up this store and make it a nice little space to visit. i’ve hired a friend of mine to take all stock to the venue and actually do the major set-up for me, as i’m going to be in an edit approval session for a tv commercial i’ve been working on. THERE’S SO MUCH GOING ON ALL AT ONCE! AAAAAAAHHHH!
wish me luck. i’m pooping myself. and if you’re in the area, please come say hi.
and here’s a really old favorite of mine just for fun. one of my favorite love songs of all time…
shoelaces and cheese
