After a few too many gin and tonics last night I thought my day at work would be dreadful.. But it totally roCked! The Zobel store had to get a lil' makeover for spring and easter... and I got to pick out and merchandise all the jewellery for the ten or so display cases inside! I went through all the drawers picking out my favorite, most eye catching pieces... for a second I thought maybe I shouldn't display so many BIG rings and GiAnt Couliers etc etc but then I thought to myself... This is Zobel..Go Big OR gO hOme:) After coating the walls with bright green and violet paper and the drawers with faux grass, we layed the jewellery out in the collections I thought looked nice together :) I used to be in my glory merchandising at a surf shop, so today doing it for Zobel was way FUN. Not to mention I got to try on all the big rings and dream of the day I will own one. I've heard I can pay month to month so this could be a dream that just might come true! Also being featured as of today in the Atelier Zobel are the ceramic designs of Thomas Kummer http://www.thomas-kummer.com/. The website does not do much justice so check out the photos on my facebook fan page. My blog isn't allowing my photos to show for some reason so I've also posted photos of the two recent clasps I finished for Zobel. But wow... these bowls, cups, and vases by Thomas Kummer are absolutely bad ass! Some with spikes, some with polka dots in gold or silver, and the cups with quirky handles and curves. We featured alot of the pieces in the front window and they actually really compliment the jewellery. It is days like today that I remember very clearly why I am here and how lucky I am to be working for this inspiring company. To contribute to Atelier Zobel is a very VeRy rewarding feeling.
So this weekend I have no plans, so I've heard that across the lake are some great vintage shops (which I miss so much about Vancouver, we kill it for vintage) but I'm not expecting to buy anything because this shop is more like Marc Jacobs Vintage and so on. But it wont hurt to have a peak. Until next time... and remember to check out the pics! Click Here For Pics Xo
