interesting fact

when you are expecting a package, OF COURSE they try to deliver it 20 minutes before you get there, but you have no way of knowing that until you go home 4 hours later and check the computer. duh.

this meant however that i got a lot of time to scrutinize the Store So Far and decide that i needed more flat surfaces, ie shelving. and this means that i need matching shelving. and because of the wenge, i have the dark brown IKEA Jarpen shelves that they don't sell online, only in stores. and because of that, it's sold out all over the Northeast. o-kay!

i am still pondering how to display earrings, too. such a hassle, earrings, especially the long dangly sort that don't look good lying down on a nice civilized "shadow suede" pad.

to everyone and their comments - thanks! and yes i have hit all the organization stores around. twice. it gets so expensive!

inventory arrives daily. it's really fun and gratifying to see all the goodies. i got a batch of lovely design and oddball books from Chronicle Books/Princeton Architectural Press, and gorgeous stuff from Sharon Spain, who got a big fat mention in the S.F. edition of Lucky this month. and more bags and cards i am just not going to tell you about yet! don't you love surprises?
