If you've been following our Twitter (which if you haven't... well I don't know what you're waiting for) you've noticed we've been doing a LOT of inventorying lately. It's all part of our ambitious goal to get the lion's share of our Closet online and into the 21st century by fall of this year. We reached our 1000th item last week (hooray!) and we're not even close to done (whaaat!).
It is so exciting, though, to intimately get to know our Closet, item by item. So often we girls turn to Marilyn incredulously, saying things like "We have a SHARK costume??" and Marilyn calmly responds, "Why of course, and it has a hood." So we take its picture, and move on. It is amazing the kinds of brilliant gems that are hiding in our stacks; I have been working here almost three years, and every day holds some surprise.
It is a wonderful thing in this world, to love what you do, and we hope you love our work as much as we do. I recently had a friend come by to check out our stacks with a themed party in mind, and her excitement was infectious; it revitalized us after a long day of dressing and re-dressing Susie Q, and filling out rows and rows and rows of our inventory spreadsheet (we're up to the Y column... only time will tell whether we'll expand into the double letters.)
That said, we encourage you to keep stopping by, keep checking the website. New things are happening around here every day, even when sometimes those new things are old things we didn't know we had.
