No. 299 takes the local mall by storm
Some fly in on a broom, some in a sports car, but I will be flying into the local Trumbull Westfield Mall on a CART.
Yup, you heard me right....a cart. November 15th launches my 6-week holiday stint selling No. 299 goodies from a stand-alone cart. Of course my space will be severely limited so no chalk-painted sideboards or burlap benches at this pop-up. But lots of grab and go gifts and home decor do-dads.
From a design standpoint this will be quite a challenge for me. How to take a very non-vintage vibe mall cart and trick it out so it screams 299. But I am up for the challenge.
If you live in the local area and have ever shopped that mall I will be located just inside the doors you would take to shop J. Crew, Banana Republic or Michael Kors on the upstairs level. And I was happy to learn that my neighbor will be a macaroon company...tres bien!
I won't even bother to post pics of current cart peeps because my hubby just texted me a few and trust me they are exactly what you would expect. I don't want to leave THAT image in your brain. You will have to wait until mine is complete and hopefully I can offer a different way to look at mall carts.
I get a mixed response when I tell people that I am about to embark on this and I will admit I was skeptical at first but have decided it's an experiment. A creative, think-outside-the-box experiment. Let's hope it will be a success!
Bon Chance No. 299!
