Wow, what a rush! Wednesday morning I stopped into Park + Vine for my IZZE fix, and ended up chatting with Dan and Sandy for a quick minute. Dan had already asked me once if I wanted to set up an area in the store for recycleDbin, and I said yes, but hadn't had the time to come up with a display or anything. He said he wanted something new just in time for Earth Day (three days away!) and then asked if I wanted to set up a window display in the front of the store!!
He asked me to do this Wednesday morning, for a Friday execution. Needless to say I was very distracted all day on Thursday (sorry to my professors who may be reading this!) planning and measuring and figuring it all out. BUT. I did. It's up.
Many, many, MANY thanks to those who helped make it possible - my amazing BF Nick, who stayed up late and helped me construct frame work; Christian Davies at FRCH who helped me brainstorm signage ideas, emersionDESIGN (esp. Nikki Marksberry!) for support and plastic bags, and the nice guy who helped me put stuff together for a minute on Friday morning.
But enough with the talk. I know you want to see the final product!!

So if you have always wanted to come down to Park+Vine but never had a reason... now you have one! Come and bring me your bags!

Jenny the pics are awesome! So excited for you!
ReplyDeleteI dropped some bags off early Saturday, looked around didn't see Dan so I left them by the display. Almost home I thought, man I just walked into a store and left a suspicious package!
ReplyDeleteOr that's what I imagined the people in Park+Vine thinking.
Hope the bomb squad didn't show up!
This is very cool; congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! 5chw4r7z, I went into PV on Saturday morning with a stabilizer for the horizontal sign (since it was imploding on itself). Anyway, I just walked in, hopped up on the window ledge, did my thing and walked out. Nobody blinked an eye (or noticed; it was pretty busy). Dan was so awesome about letting me do my thing - he let me move other displays around, and didn't get (visibly) annoyed about me accidentally blowing a fuse three times on Friday.
ReplyDeleteSo I may be missing something, but what are you going to do with the bags? And, can I leave drycleaning bags too?
