I have been meaning to do a blog post about my new adventure with the boutique the last week, but my goodness I have been so busy! It has always been a big goal and dream of mine to have a physical store for the boutique and the opportunity came up to have a Pop Up Shop and I couldn't have been more excited!
I am not able to be committed to a store where we live in Fort St John right now, but one day I do hope to have a store full time.. wherever we may be :)
This cute little house is just the perfect little spot to have my boutique!
Of course, with only being in the store a short amount of time I am not able to completely have the inside EXACTLY the way I would like, but I love how it came together.
I would say the biggest challenge from the very beginning was to get the word out about the Pop Up Shop around town! I didn't even have that much notice ahead of time before it was all a go! Thank goodness with the help of my husband he helped me with getting signs made, going around town hanging up flyers and social media of course was a huge help!
YAY!
You have to have coffee & donuts for the grand opening!
Just a few hours after I opened these beautiful flowers were delivered to me and I was so surprised! My sweet mom & sister sent them to me and wow did they make me smile & even feel like they were right there with me for a split second!
Instead if leaving Lilly at home by herself all day I figured I might as well bring her to the store to hang out with me! Plus she loves seeing everyone.
I absolutely LOVE having the store and not just working from home with the boutique's website! I love being interactive with my customers and seeing them light up when they find pieces they fall in love with! I feel so blessed to be doing what I love and can only pray the boutique continues to grow! I am working my butt off and giving the boutique my all!
And after a crazy week I came home to a glass of wine poured and a delicious dinner on the table made by my amazing hubby. He is always there for me and just knows exactly what I need in that moment! I honestly don't know how I got so lucky. We enjoyed dinner and wine while talking about memories of growing up and all the good ole times. I just love sitting at the dinner table talking and forgetting about everything that is going on in life at that very moment.
The Pop Up Shop has been a total success and I am totally loving it!! I need a good nights sleep tonight & then I will be ready to take on this next week! :)
