ikea

looks like my Jarpen shelves are back in stock! this means i get to take the IKEA shuttle from port authority to elizabeth, NJ and bring back as much as i think i can carry on the subway. fun fun sunday plans.

jewelry display - ugh. it gets expensive. i've decided that some earrings can lie flat, some can hang on a pin in the wall-mounted case, and some will have to go on those leatherette earring stands in the countertop display space. hopefully there will be enough room. i might have to rig up a wire rack for the top of the counter, and just keep an eye on the jewelry.

legal - i bought and am actually trying to use QuickBooks. it is hard because there are so many options!! also it doesn't do a good job w/ inventory and has nothing for consigners so i have to either buy a separate inventory/POS system, or just do it by hand. it might be the latter for now as i have no more money!

collateral - ordered some biz cards from overnightprints, on erika/mellifluous' approval. hope they turn out nice. also ordered a rubber stamp of just the R and D to use on hang tags and envelopes and i guess shopping bags. hm, time to buy shopping bags.

i got a haircut and it is oh so lovely. almost boy-short again, to combat the humidity that has arisen this week.

more pictures, this time with more inventory! i'd like to say i took them so i can see how well i've space-planned or something, but i just wanted to feel the actualization of my planning. it feels good.


purses! mostly west coast folk.


lovely JPG magazines live and in person on the reading rack.


gratuitous dog shot, mia at home. she like to restructure her bed for total comfort.


more bags, unisex styles, nice and simple. these are a tough waterproof nylon and i will have colored canvas as well, in different shapes, including a bowling bag and a laptop bag.


pippi gets some clothing. owls are the new squirrels!
