Work experience ♥

Hello everyone ♥ For the next two weeks I will be on work experience.I am working in a little shop called  Beretun designs. This is a bridal shop that sells wedding dresses and other related accessories like shoes and jewellery. Mostly everything that is in the store is handmade or personalizes by the designer Linda Johnson (as you can see in the picture above). She make the makes all of her jewellery and personalises some of her shoes.  She also designs her dresses to the needs of the costumer. To see some of her dresses, shoes and other accessories go to her website and take a look http://www.beretundesigns.co.uk/



Day 1 - Monday 8th November 

Today was my first day at work. I was quite excited and nervous at the same time! When I arrived I was kindly greeted by Linda. I was the introduce to Tina who works at the shop part time on Mondays. the first job I had to do was hover!! I then got give the job of cleaning the jewellery cabinet. This was a great opportunity to see all of the lovely jewellery that she has made. After this I worked with Tina for a bit and painted butterflies for a tiara Linda is making. After a quick bite to eat I did some more preparation for the tiara. This was making the fzz bits which involved wrapping beads on to wire.



Day 2 - Tuesday 9th November

Back to the shop for another day. As I did yesterday I had to hover but again my day got better after this was out of the way. Today Linda had a jewellery making class at six so I was doing perpetration for that. As you probably know by it is 6 weeks till Christmas!! This was the theme of Linda's jewellery class today. While she was dealing with her costumers and orders she gave me the task of making the Christmas charms. These can be used as charms or Christmas tree decorations. All you do is make legs, arms and hair and then thread them through dress to make a Santa, Angel or a Choir boy.


Day 3 - Thursday 11th November

The shop was closed yesterday so I had a day off. Today Wendy was in the shop. She also works there part time and helps out with the website and this is what I was doing today was helping update the site. We went through the shoe brochures and put them all on the website. Then I went through and got all the names of the sale items and started to upload them. Today of course is remembrance day  and we all did our minuets scilence and I hope you did too!
