I ALWAYS THOUGHT I was pretty hard working, but I’ve never worked as hard as I have in the last few months!
Getting the website together (www.jackiebrazilworld.com) was not that complicated in retrospect, even for us mediocre techies, but getting the stock organised and individually photographed … now THAT’s a different story! We just didn’t figure that that would take longer than building the site itself! It wasn’t just the volume of photographs and descriptions, it was the fact that we’re so fascinated about each piece as an individual work of art that we still, even now and after all this time, get distracted with cries of ‘wow, look at THAT one’, ‘check the colours on THIS’ and, of course the inevitable, ‘can I keep it?’. The latter is usually met with a dull and distinctly disapproving frown from my partner.
Of course, that wasn’t the only distraction. Being the mother of two lovely and very young children (2 and 1) means that every now and again the kids have to come with you and that piece you’re about to photograph in the studio suddenly disappears from position by the time you get to press the button, only to magically reappear on the wrist of your son or daughter. You try telling off an 18 month old girl with an Art Deco bangle up her arm as she looks at you with a sparkly eyes, a beautiful bright smile and wild, curly blond hair. You can’t do it. No one can.
But I’m summarizing months of work and organization in just a few lines and it doesn’t do it justice. Our story is no different from anyone else’s I’m sure, and I’m writing this to kick start the blog on launch day. I should warn you all, I love writing stuff and I will be back again soon ….
