Starting on Sunday, September 11th I will be working part time at A Trace of Lace Bridal Shop on Woodstock Ave in Rutland, VT. The first time I entered the store the heavens opened up. I heard birds chirping and had a sudden urge try on a dress and sing Disney Princess songs.
The white carpets are soft and welcoming to my feet. The boutique smells of baby’s breath and commitment. I feel like an abandoned child who stumbles upon a warm, welcoming cottage in the woods. I feel…at home. The silk, the lace, the beading- it is too stimulating and I suddenly can’t breathe. When the friendly face asks if I am here to try on a dress- I slump a little. The warm cottage disappears and the heavens once again close. Embarrassed as to why I am actually here, to feed into an addiction, I spit out the only thing I can come up with on the spot… “Um, Are you hiring?”
Stay tuned for adventures Behind the Seams at A Trace of Lace, Bridal Boutique- located next to Hannoush Jewelers on Woodstock Ave. I will be updating the blog regularly – photos included. That is until I get fired for trying on all the dresses.
