Please forgive all the to-do lists; somehow, I find it motivating and it’s helping me get through the set of things I need to do before the semester starts next week…
(Pic — IKEA Kallax unit I assembled yesterday (only dropped it on my fingers once), because I was frustrated with what the shop had for a window display of the various vendors’ items — I think this is better.
I’d like to have little signs in each square, highlighting the names of the shops / vendors, making it clearer that this storefront hosts lots of little shops. We’ll get there.
While I was working on refreshing my store, the other vendors working filled this with items from the shops — they went for lots of pink, because apparently it’s time to shop for Valentine’s Day already…eep.)
