Inspiration

I am always on the look out for inspiration to feed my own creativity and improve my approaches to selling.  Call me an opportunist but I spent forty minutes yesterday browsing in the new interior design / vintage shop called 'Jacob Street' on the Lisburn Road.  Every nook and cranny was creatively utilised complimented with an essence of quality in retro, vintage and contemporary stock.  I screeched to a halt and whipped into an empty parking space in front of the adjoining shop.  The window display is magnificent and the shop had a welcoming glow like a fantasy Aladdin's cave.   While attired in my shabby chic look (jeans and black cotton top dressed with a simple brooch) I was warmly welcomed by the sales assistant.  The shop of my dreams and obviously the proprietor as well but realistically this clever lady is not reliant on vintage to make a living but on her ability to compliment an interior design business with gems of the past!

Congratulations and good luck, Jacob Street from The Big Brown Suitcase.
