A day in my shoes

Here's a mini diary post of a day in my life as a florist...

As most of you may know these days finding a job is pretty rare...so if you do come across one then luck is on your side but if you're as lucky as I've been these couple of days then you've probably experienced a miracle...because I sure have. I am not talking about a hair raising miracle like that of witnessing an old lady picking up a car to save a baby, more like an ordinary miracle that happens in the most random of ways...

So here is how I experienced my own little miracle... At my very first flower shop interview, I talked to the owners for about 1 minute to for my surprise get hired on the spot...Most people who get hired on the spot get hired after they are interviewed but not me...I got hired just after our introduction and put to work on a huge corporation event with about 30-50 flower arrangements. I think that at the point where they asked me to start working after only a few minutes of being there I should of freaked out just a bit, it's only normal too I hadn't done an event yet and least of all in such little time. What if they didn't even like my work?  but I didn't even get the chance to think about it or worry. It was more like... wow I just got hired! Omg I'm working right now! Thats amazing! I'm gonna show them that it was a great decision to have hired me.
I ended up making a bunch of adorable arrangements that day for the event and I even helped close the shop..a full on work day on an interview day... It felt like out of a movie.
The first day ever at a florist position in a shop and I'm already working on an event. I doubt that happens to every florist.....so that's my little miracle. a 1 minute interview and I've got my very first true floral designer position. :)

And as far as flower shops go this is about the loveliest of all. It's called Bridget's Blooms in La Jolla and it's owned by a super nice married couple, Bridget and Micheal Oleata. The shop has been open for about 3 weeks now and been completely renovated...It's a true gem and well worth checking out. Come visit me and I'll make you something pretty.

Here's a demonstration of my very first day creations....Presenting the Event's arrangements:
