I did some "skullies" on tees for boys, again, three different designs. The Pirate Ghostie has been a bit of a fave with the public so I decided to create a Pirate Skullie.

The light box
I made a light box as a sign for my tshirts. I wanted to have it finished before my friends came for drinks at the shop. After mounting the light and the surrounding frame, I glued the perspex with the vinyl lettering. Standing back to admire the sign I had just finished and the perspex fell down, a corner smashed off and now a stuffed toy sits in one corner of the light box and the customers are none the wiser.

Mum's dresses
Mum had made some dresses out of fabric she'd brought from Lincraft. For fear of having the same fabric as someone else, she sourced vinatge shirts to make the dresses from. As a child, Mum's riding teacher was Mrs Coffey, so I made a swing tag of a young girl on her horse at pony club and placed the name "Mrs Coffey" along one side. The dresses hang above one of the changerooms.

Merchandising
Carpet Tiles
We needed to do something with the floor. The tiles in the middle were white, which fit well into the scheme, but the outer tiles were an ugly beige colour. After a lot of searching, Harv found these carpet tiles at our favourite junk shop, just up the road in Northcote. With some elbow grease, heavy duty glue and a spare Saturday, we lay the carpet tiles to cover the beigeness and frame the whiteness!

The counter
While ebay is playing a vital role in the search for our products, it was also the saviour in the dying hours of trying to find a counter for the shop. After the stress and anticipation of ebay bidding, Harvey won the ex-icecream counter and with some elbow grease, it has come up a treat and will serve as our shop counter.

The interior
63 High St was previously a Vintage clothing store with two very spacious and sturdy changerooms. A fresh coat of paint in the changerooms and around the walls of the shop changed the unloved and scungy look of the shop to a very bright and pristine gallery like interior, except for the tiles.......
The Shop
Welcome to 63 High St, 'in the next few weeks' we are opening the doors of "Know Your Product" to the creative and curious consumers out there. Cath, Harvey and myself will entice you with new and secondhand products, handmade and manmade products, and general riff raff. This is the beginning, an early shot of the shop from the east side of High St.
