Do you ever feel like, in life, you sometimes get on a roller coaster without even realising it, and then sit back to enjoy the ride? That’s how this business began. Visiting the gift fair with a friend I mentioned my interest in Christmas decorating - she said I was born for it (I mean, with a name like mine what other choice was there). So after doing the figures, investigating the market, and working a lot with my gut feelings, My Christmas was born.
What started as an interest in creating a small web based Christmas decorating and decoration business, quickly grew into a retail based business with a seasonal Christmas store that has opened in East Malvern, Melbourne for the past 2 years.
So who am I? My name is Krissy. This is my business. Friends always tell me I have an eye for Christmas decorating - ensuring there is a fab Christmas feel in every room, without falling into the “over done” basket. My passion is Christmas whimsy, and I love Christmas decorations that make me smile.
I love Christmas time, because it is a time that brings family and friends closer together. So often during the rest of the year it’s a case of ‘we must catch up’, but in December we do catch up. So the special Christmas lunch with family, or Christmas cocktails and other Christmas parties, remind us about all the special people in our lives.
So, what will you expect in this blog. I hope to give you an in-sight into some of the work that goes on in the back ground of our Christmas shop. We have trips to the Dallas Gift Fair, Hong Kong Gift Fair, buying from wonderful suppliers in Australia that we will report on. There will also be a few notes from my colleagues, and some of the processes we’ll go through in setting up the 2009 store.
Love to hear any of your thoughts along the way.
Cheers for now.
Chrissie
