 Boutique before sail-trying to get everything on the floor! |
As an "Option 2 Mum"-ship speak for having a child between ages 6-13, I am required to work 20 hours per week. My job is The Boutique Manager. The Boutique is basicaly an op-shop but without exchange of money. As people leave or have a clean out or their kids grow out of clothes, they bring stuff down to The Boutique to donate. I then sort through everything and make it all looks pretty and clean on the shelves. I work four mornings per week, two evenings and one afternoon. It is a hard, hot and tiring job. You see lots of gross stuff and the other day I had hives on my arms. But I do get to meet and interact with many of the crew who I wouldn't normally meet. It is wonderful to hear a West African man squeal (yes squeal) in delight over the bright, shimmery purple African outfit made of material that look suspiciously like shower cutain or being able to give a doctor on the run two saftey pins to hold a child's sling in place. From hammocks to hand towels, books to bandanas, sleeping bags to sewing stuff.......the list is endless. You name it, I've seen it! |
