You work on TV shows and movies. The art director comes to you with concepts of how they want each set to look, while carpenters build the set, you get to go shopping all day, rummaging through second hand shops, auction houses, and negotiating with home wares designers and artists, and of course normal shops too. You get to fill up your van with amazing goods and furniture all on the company account. You return with all this treasure, making sure they fit with the art directors vision for the scene, then you start to “dress” the set. It’s shopping and decorating basically. (Well I say basic, but I’m sure it’s hard work actually).
Pretty amazing hey? Well my very dear friend HAS this job!
Her house quickly fills with the most amazing things. Items she collects for herself along her travels, and stuff that returns to her after a shoot has ended.
Anyway, one of the patterns of this type of work is that often there are gaps inbetween jobs. She’s in one of those gaps at the moment, and has used the time to set up her own ETSY store. It’s quickly filling with all the surplus vintage items she finds and simply can’t leave behind. So she’s sharing them with all of us, (for a very generous cost).
Her shop is called a small ferret, go check it out!

She has good stuff. I think "a small ferret" could posibbly be the best shop name ever.
