Retail at Christmas

You have no idea how busy we have been? My personal life has been so neglected as we wade through box after box of new stock. It's very exciting. I mean its like Christmas every day with all the cool stuff we have bought. The downside is the admin that goes with it. Working out prices, writing out price tags and then my favourite part - the merchandising. How I wish I could pop into an Anthropologie for a quick bit of inspiration (sigh) But, we are doing ok considering none of us have any training in this.

I have been quite stressed worrying that we dont have enough stock to see us through Christmas, then I worry that we have too much stock, only then to worry that I have bought all the wrong products.

Thank the Lord He is faithful in His advice and in giving us favour with our community. Everyone who comes into Fat Tuesday raves about how special it is and what wonderful stocking fillers we have. Everyday all day - It gets quite embarrassing actually. here is a sample of a few of our Christmas displays.

Little Red Riding Hood meets Dr Seuss
