A CHANGE IS AS GOOD AS A REST

A CHANGE IS AS GOOD AS A REST


As June is now over and the slow period is on us for retail I decided that I would give my booth a move about and display some items in little settings in the hope that someone would go "oh I could do with that in my home" and walk away with an armful of my treasures.


 I found this wonderful Edwardian nursing chair at auction and just had to bid on it.

The colour purple just zings and it stands out beautifully and I used some of my pieces with purple in them to display on the chair.



A great chair to curl up with a good book on.


I tidied up all the shelves and restocked.

 
Sorted out the clothes 


Tidied up the jewellery and ephemera and generally titivated it all up


It was not easy as anyone who know me knows that being a Virgo I have to have everything in its place and where at all possible everything matching.   When you only have a small space this is not easy to achieve and at one time I was virtually hyperventilating trying to get it right.  I have to say a big thank you to Alex at Most Marvellous for working alongside me, plying me with coffee and sending me outside in order to breath when I stressed out.  Your right Alex no-one but me will notice that the purple is slightly off on the mauve or that the green does not quite match with the yellow...... Being a perfectionist sucks or maybe it is just my OCD showing.
