windows.

A few months after I started at work, I was given the job of prepping our windows for incoming auctions. Auction windows are popular here in the city with thrift stores that are non-profit. Windows become a vehicle to raise more money by creating displays containing highly covetable items. Prepping windows meant...

a) cleaning out "past auction" items.
b) taking out nails, hooks, curtains etc.
c) sweeping out dirt and dust
d) sanding the wall
e) painting (the most important).

So I did that, and of course since it involved no customers... I loved doing it.

Until recently, I was asked to assist doing a window, which I enjoyed even more. Not only did I paint the walls, I installed the lights, hung the curtains, cleaned the items and most importantly my manager asked my opinion on things like what looks good with what and where was it best to place in the window. He actually listens to what I have to say, and we work well together. This makes me excited...

Anyway, heres our window.

arnie, thanks thanks!

anything that comes into the store gets sorted... and the really nice things are saved in the basement for the windows. yung basement namin puno ng kung ano ano... so actually, hindi sila "new arrival". HAHA!
