The left -ish view from my desk. Which is the workshop table that seats 9. Obviously, I'm using the space of four people.
A swing to the right. Revealing - not only the excellent photography that caught the top of the bin, but half a table full of stamps that are on clearance - end of lines that start at 50p and honestly, couldn't find one for more than £4.99. I've bought some, of course!
So that's my current work desk - is yours making you happy this Wednesday? Photo it and show it off on your blog, that makes your visitors happy! We'll swing by if you add it to Mr Linky here - note your Link number and wherever you visit a WOYWW blog, leave your number in the comment - then the blog writer can connect with you. Great.
And some housekeeping - if you want to pick off the WOYWW button, copy the box of html text under the button in the left margin on this blog, go to into your dashboard, click on Design, then click on the 'Add a Gadget' button. Select from the list HTML/Java script - press the blue '+' sign. Paste the html code into the bigger of the two boxes and click save. Ta Na! And welcome to adding loads of pics and gadgets - too easy!
Oh Julia...Amber and I are laughing so hard! We feel like we won the LOTTO being #1! I think this will be a lucky week for us ;) I love your space and Coffee, tea or me! What a wonderful way to spend a day! Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteWahey, check me out being number 2! Knew that one day I'd see a benefit to getting up at 5:30am!
ReplyDeleteWow Julia, what fun playing shopkeeper in a craft shop - move over kids in sweet shops! Hope you continue having lots of fun :-)

I'm so excited being #3, and so envious of your time as a shopkeeper, Julia! It sounds like so much fun - especially since you get to play and not have all the responsibility. Have a great week!

It's been a while since I've tried to comment. Fingers crossed it might work this time. Oops - not acually sir Mr Linky worked either! Oh my
ReplyDeleteMary Anne
Wow Julia you are so early! I saw your post on my bloglist which is the only reason I caught it! Usually I check about 2:30 pm Philippine time. What a great time you'll be having as a shopkeeper- I'm sure you'll meet a lot of new friends! But...you'll probably get to buy a lot too, if you keep looking at the merchandise! Patsy #3 from

Wow, I was just playing around till it was time to visit and saw you had already posted. Boy, I'm late, late today! Love your "work desk" today. Had to laugh about how much space you're taking over, too! Nothing changes except location (grin).
ReplyDeleteIt does sound heavenly being a shop keeper and getting to craft too - I want that job! :-) Christine
ReplyDeleteLike all that yummy paper & to it and play there all day everyday would be heaven!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what time are you scheduling this post? Thought it went up around 8 so was not posting before work (usually leave at 6 but had lie today) and so was not linking up until Thursday evening usually but if Mr Linky goes up each week around the same time as this post may be joining Wednesday mornings

I am so with you about the Julia, I would love to sit and play and pretend it was mine... but perhaps not if it were really!! Love the fact you have totally made yourself at home and hogged all the table space!!
ReplyDeleteStamps on sale?
ReplyDeleteWhere's the shop?
One can never have enough stamps!
Chrissie
Totally fantastic photos....I would so love to be able to view all the goodies for real instead of always shopping online.
ReplyDeleteKate x
You must be in seventh heaven today with all that lovliness all round you. Have a great time playing shop :-)
ReplyDeleteA x
Wow - for once, being off work today - I am doing this live - and you're way early, and I'm all the way down at 38. Love the look of the shop, wish I was nearby (or maybe not, wallet-wise!) to pop in. Have a great time playing Shopkeeper-Gal mark 2, don't buy too many stamps!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I lived a little closer, not sure of the distance, I would have popped over Friday to visit you in your little empire! And to raid those stamps of course!!!! Hugs Pam xx
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I am drooling at those lovely photos this morning. love the penguin card too.
ReplyDeleteHope you dont get too addicted to being shopkeeper or we might not be able to resist all the lovely stash photos, lol.
have a lovely day playing with everything.
caroline #36
Oh yes - I think Wipso and I need to pop over to keep you company in that big shop! We could play all day with all those goodies! Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteOooo lucky you, such a lovely large work area.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't work in a craft shop as there would be too much temptation - I would want everything LOL
Toni :o)
oh it sounds so blissful!
ReplyDeleteOOh looks like stamap heaven.. how I would love a good rummage :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.xx
Morning Julia! Hope you are well hun xx Have a great WOYWW xx Hugs Tina xx
ReplyDeleteYes, this is heaven Julia!!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha....I see you are very much enjoying your shopkeeper week...huh I would enjoy that job too - but not all of it - just sitting in there amoungst all those lovely crafty things, the chat - I love that and also a bit of cardmaking - nice! Yep the worry bit is not for me though...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your shopkeeper week!
Hugs,
Cardarian
I'm posted - no 52 - and I'm off to work. Hav a great day, everyone. Byeee!
ReplyDeleteI envy you.. ..we'd all love that job! It just wouldn't be the same selling spuds and turnips, now would it?...Enjoy it until you get made redundant!! Don't you wish your own desk was so wide?
ReplyDeletehugs JoZarty x
Have fun playing shop....lucky lady!
ReplyDeletehave a great week
kazx
Oooo what fun - looking after a craft shop! Would love a real life snoop through those clearance stamps.
ReplyDeletewow what a shop, can i come and play please
ReplyDeleteHello Julia ...Yes its me ....Me and my desk are back , I have missed you and your's
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have had a day of sheer bliss playing shop keeper
Hugs Susie xx
WOW you are a lucky girl - I'd like to play that game too if you don't mind? LOL. Sounds like you had fun and all that crafty stuff in the background looks amazing .... and where is this shop? Have a fab day. Hugs, Claire x
ReplyDeleteHi Julia - looks like crafting heaven, all those stamps, all that workspace, all that fun! I'd love to come and help, pleeease. It's clear I'm never going to make #1 (what time do you have to get up?)I have gone from number 87 to 60 this week so that's an improvement. Elizabeth #60
ReplyDeleteWow I'm so jealous! I'd love to run a craft shop, maybe one day.... Enjoy your time as the boss!
ReplyDeleteLucky Lucky You! looks so much fun and no worries with it! have a fab day. nnalorac.xx 64
ReplyDeleteWow how lovely that shop looks, there is lots of lovely stash there. Your desk is brilliant this week wish I lived near and could come and visit.
ReplyDeleteElaine no 66
sounds like you are having lots of fun Julia, had any craft students in there?
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I would totally LOVE to play shopkeeper lady for a day, OK maybe half a day ... but am pleased to report that my desk makes me happy just about every day. That makes me a fortunate woman doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have had a ball... am I missing a trick or do we already know the name of the shop and its whereabouts..I am not sure which one it is.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Sue xx
Oh a dream come true. I could live that life quite happily.
ReplyDeleteLuv Joanne xx
Now that shop looks familiar. i might have to get over there soon and snap up some clearance stamps!!!!
ReplyDelete** Kate ** (# who knows I will have to look into it, I'm just not awake yet even if it is gone 10am)
Yes, I know I'm not awake but I've just realised you have been left in charge of the entire shop! How did that happen? Is Shopkeeper Gal off looking for her marbles? And I can well believe that there is some serious chatting, drinking of coffee and crafting going on, but does actual work come into it anywhere?
ReplyDelete** Kate **
This looks fun and bargain stamps too!
ReplyDeleteHelen (75)
Looks like you are having fun. Keep some of those cheap stamps for me I will be there in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteCathx 75
ooh Julia I think youve hit the nail on the head, who wants to be the owner with all the worry, when you can just sit there and play and pretend its your shop, defn the best of both worlds. Im going to Pickleberry tomoz, wonder if they will let me pretend as well. no 78
ReplyDeleteHave fun playing shop Julia ... shop keeper gal could have several weeks off and let us all have a go ... would n't that be fun :0)
ReplyDeleteThis week I am link number 67 :0)
You have to be in HEAVEN!!! Look at all that stuff, I say play, play, play while the mice are away!! Sounds like your having a great time.. I wanna see what you been making when your all done!
ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteThis shop looks amazing and I could spend hours shopping and creating!
You are one lucky person this week and your friend is one lucky person to have you! Enjoy your week in paradise! Linda C 86
ReplyDeleteBest job in the world bet you're lovin' it! Wow, clearance stamps, wish I lived closer! Don't be spending all your wages now!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Brenda (Ooh, only 87 this week, that's good!)
Yes! Isn't that every paper crafter's dream? To own a shop for a day or two? Lol. No headaches, just the fun part. Enjoy! Love all that workspace area you have!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
#62 Isn't that just our idea of heaven, playing for hours and hours in your very own craft shop wiht every single craft item at your finger tips. BLISS!!
ReplyDeleteOh Julia, I L-O-V-E your photos!!! I used to work in a scrapbook store for five years (best job I ever had!) - until the shop had to close because of the freakin' economy. I loved it. It was so good to be in a creative environment. I bet you had a ball! - Carola 93
ReplyDeleteLucky you Julia as # 62 says heaven is in a craft shop playing and creating. I would have a smile on my face all day.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I was with you and just to chat to all the customers would be heaven for me and also be able to demonstrate as well. The plus side as you say is not having the headache to own it. Love your pics. Love and Hugs JO. - 96
ReplyDeleteOMG - you ARE in Heaven!!!! Can I come too - this must be like being in a sweet shop when you're a kid... FAB!
ReplyDeleteLovely that you have somewhere else to post from - great post.

OMG what a fabulous way to spend the day, that would be like a dream for me :-) Thanks for sharing.

Oh Julia, it sounds as though you're having soooo much fun! Those stamps sound like a bargain - where is the shop - as I really do need more stamps (not!!) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSherry (103)
wow, what a lot of great things to buy! how tempting! do you get a special discount?
ReplyDeletemine's a hallway and i'm 104 today
ReplyDeleteGet the whole view of my awesome corner desk!! :) (With a lack of scissors..)
ReplyDeleteLou Mac #105
Certainly looks like heaven to me and a lot less fattening than running a sweet shop LOL! I wish I was nearer. I will get to back playing to WOYWW soon!
ReplyDeleteLinbyx
Oh what a delightful post! It's been so long since I've been in a good stamping store. All of our specialized stores have closed where I live - all we have are the big chains. My how I wish the days of walking in where "everyone knows your name!"
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting a much needed smile on my face today. Have a wonderful week!
Hugs

Fabulous! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI'm so lucky to play ( ooops! work - if Jacqui's reading this) in a craft shop and love meeting and chatting to like minded crafters and who could resist bargain stamps !!!!
ReplyDeleteAnne xxx
I'm drooling this week, Julia. How lovely to be able to play at shops, every crafters heaven and bargain stamps to boot. I'd be hopeless owning a shop, I'd be always buying the stock and never making any money!!
ReplyDeleteFabby photos.
BTW, re embossing cuttlebugged images. I always wipe them over with talc and then use a little veramark ink pad, although you still get powder were you don't want but it brushes off with a paintbrush. A bit fiddly but I love the results.
Happy WOYWW.
Hugs Lisa (117)
Thanks for setting this up, it is so much fun!

OOo lucky you! All them goodies in that shop, did you spend much? I wouldent trust myself in there for too long! Hope you can forgive me for the teasing of your ATG....!!! I am now proud to say "I too Love the ATG, well I am learing to, once I get the hang of it"

So excited to discover WOYWW! I started my first one today! Thank you for the creative ideas and fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI think people must think I am the shopkeeper at the local craft store. I seem to be there alot lately!!
Kelly #124
I'm thinking that shop really suits you Julia! A person could be very content for hours playing with all the stuff there...and hopefully, someone else would be in charge of clean up;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting another WOYWW!
You must really be enjoying surrounding yourself with all that stash; I'd be in heaven. Hope you manage to restrain yourself from being your own best customer...
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic - you must be in craft heaven. Hope you can get some time to play with all the goodies that are not for sale.
ReplyDeleteHeaven indeed! *i am not jealous*
ReplyDeleteThanks for another WOYWW, I got to play this week!
thanks for another

This morning I have internet, but too late!! so I am number 0 !! we had blackout, so I am suffering withdrawal symptoms... lol Looks like you are having fun playing shopkeeper :))
ReplyDeleteSee you next week, power permitting!
Hugs x
Stay away from those stamps, you do not have to buy them all!
ReplyDeleteSeriously enjoy your time playing shopkeeper.
And yes I am well behind schedule this week but I just couldn't stay away
Ooooo - so jealous , I would love to have a whole shop to play with. Sounds like you were having a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteLizzie x

Crafters are like goldfish, we will expand to the size of our workspace lol. Have a wonderful time playing Shop! Sooooo many toys you have at your finger tips. I would be in debt by the time I finished working there, if I was in your shoes. TFS :D
ReplyDelete#101
Wahoo, its my first time, i'm a virgin WOYWW lol x
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me why some names on Mr Linky have changed colour even BEFORE I've clicked on them?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't help me sort out which numbers I have commented on!
ANyideas?

I'd love to be a shopkeeper sometime! so jealous of your desk this week!
ReplyDeleteOooh looks like you are having lots of fun Julia! enjoy
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up. I Love acting like I own places that I totally don't. I settle right in at a friend's booth and boss customers around. Pretty much I do the same thing at other people's houses, so I'm good at it.
A
What a great site to view. Love your rocking horses too. Glad they are not full size, though. Thanks for sharing so much with us all.
ReplyDeleteSo cool looking at all this- sorry, I must have clicked twice!
ReplyDeleteI love playing shop, and get excited when Wendy leaves me in there alone to go and do a job! Unfortunately I only get down there once a month, or maybe fortunately, Wendy might get fed up with me living in the shop if I lived closer lol!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome shop!!! I wish I was close enough to just be a customer, let alone play shopkeeper! What a great space to play!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! :o)
Glorious scene of creative endeavour :) I understand about needing the space though - when I am at a crop I tend to spread into at least two tables! Delighted to be joining in with WOYW, and think it's going to focus me nicely into doing some more creating, so thank-you!
