Day in the life of a window dresser

Or, as I am told these days, a 'visual merchandiser', window dresser being an archaic term. Well I suppose as we do everything from (basic, these days) decor to unpacking stock on to the sheves. Ah, those heady days of studios and backdrops, props and pins, the correct way to fold a shirt or pad a shoulder, or even focusing a spotlight just so.

Anyway, the picture is what I'm looking at at the mo', I'm waiting for the stock to arrive, its here, but at the way back of a stockroom underneath a months worth of deliveries.

In my codienne haze (I fell off the garage roof last Sunday,fortunately nothing but bad sprains and bruises, but thats enough, thankyou) trying to put together a workable display of objects ranging from crockery and hand turned pottery thru jewellery items and carved wooden fish...

This has, of course, all been dropped on us at the last moment.

I have constructed some 'stands' from some pillaged glass shelving on which to array the stuff, this is my inbuilt McGuyver streak coming to the fore, something that is essential in this line of work.

I'll post an after pic if the whole thing stays together...
