Are you tired of hearing about the store yet? Today I got in my desk, and some tables, and a bookcase. I also had delivered an electric sign, more fixtures, metal sign stands, a shoe rack seat, and a HUGE mirror, easily 10"' tall! Its enormous! I want women to look in this mirror and feel like a queen!

Every day I am at the store, people walk in and tell me how excited they are that I am opening. This is so amazing to me. All I did was put up a sign and start setting up business and word has traveled amongst the plus size women in my area! They are walking in, making appointments to consign clothes, and taking a tour of the place. They grab a fistful of business cards and away they go, to tell even more people.

Why has no one thought of doing this before? The response to my presence is intense!

I spent the day tagging tiaras! I got in 21 tiaras! I am going to wear one every day I am there! I love it! Who doesnt want to feel like a princess? LOL

I had a meeting with a guy who buys storage lockers...just like the people in Storage Wars. He supplies the best consignment shop in the area (for non plus size women. Mine is the best for plus size women!) with the name brand clothes he gets from those storage rooms. He hasnt had a place to sell the plus sizes and is extremely excited to do business with me! He is passing my name onto the other people who do this too, to get them involved with my store.

Holy Moses! This is getting really exciting and I am so close to opening! I am having a premiere party on the 20th of June for my group members and consignors. Then July 1st I have my grand opening for the public!

I love my life right now!

I have had an incredible week at the shop! Its all coming together very well and while I am exhausted, I am thrilled and just cant stop obsessing over what to do next!

Just a few more days and it will be my Premiere Gathering. I invited a small group of people to come in, shop and tour the shop. And then I hand them an evaluation to fill out before they leave. I want to know what they think I did right, and what needs improved. I will take their suggestions and do them before my grand opening!

I now have a rounder of sexy underthings. Corsets, bras, teddies, camisoles, garter belts, etc. All either new or used once/tried on and didnt like for themselves. I even have a hot cop costume! I love it!

One of my biggest thrills is when mothers bring their daughters in. They turn them loose in the store and the kids go wild, so excited to find a whole store just for them! Hoodies, man, I could sell a dozen hoodies a day! LOL. Moms sit in the back, enjoying the comfy area, while the kids pick out clothes. And boy do they BUY! I had three separate families come in this week and from them alone, I can pay next months rent! But the real joy is watching mom be happy instead of shopping with daughters who are miserable because they cant find anything to wear. Or they buy things too tight just to have something. One daughter kept wanting to buy things that were not buttonable, or she couldnt get the zipper up. I had to talk to her about how important it was to look her best, and to do so, best fit is more important than having "something" I assured her so much more was coming in and that she was going to be able to find ALOT of clothes that fit her much better over time. Mom gave me a thumbs up. And the daughter took a shine to me, glad I think, that I wanted her to look good, and not just buy.

I love my life. I love my store...

The Premiere Gathering went very well! I got alot of visitors, and they filled out evaluations, ate cookies, shopped, stayed to visit, met each other, laughed, swapped phone numbers, became friends! It was wonderful! Everything I hoped it would be! Such joy!

And I am exhausted! The shop looked wonderful, the racks were full, the place was spotless! One of my customers brought in "P" shaped cookies, in pink and green, for my colors of Pretty and Plus! That was so thoughful and caring!

I am going to play mahjong all day and take the day off from the shop and tomorrow, hit the racks and get ready for the grand opening!
