Saturday Girl. by happypat

Saturday Girl.

One of the independently owned shops in Garstang selling shoes, bags, jewellery, clothes & accessories plus upstairs there is a large range of hats for hire.

Everything is just that little bit different & this afternoon I had a good browse as Lydia has a Saturday job in this shop.

Three good things:
1. I treated myself!
2. An extra hour in bed tonight although when you are retired & that bit older you don't appreciate it as much!
3. On the other hand an early start tomorrow for Leeds Uni open day.
4. A husband who doesn't mind holding the fort with the B&B while I go off before breakfast. Luckily the B&B's have been lots of times before & are just having porridge etc so will all be ready before I go.
I am loving this series of yours. Lovely framing, composition, lighting, focus, reflections

What a great place to have a Saturday job - hope you find out all you need tomorrow.

Looks lovely and a great name - and a very stylish Saturday girl. Sounds like a busy Sunday ahead - good job you have that extra hour - just don't be up in the night!

I think I'd like this shop... I see shoes in the window!

A lovely shot, and smile, and I echo the above - a great place for a Saturday job.

Looks like a charming shop, I love to find little creative shops to look around in. Seems to be where one can find that perfect, different look.

@beryl I doubt it beryl...the B&Bs I have in tonight sit in the sitting room /dining room until about 11.30pm so I can't lay the table!!

What a delightful looking shop...and an adorable and stylish Saturday Girl! A wonderful shot, Pat! Bless Harry for being such good help with the B&B. And safe travels to you tomorrow!

I'm loving the tour of Garstang. It looks very inviting.

it's a lovely candid shot Pat, and it looks a lovely shop for Lydia to work in.....

Kirsty and Claire both had "Saturday Girl" jobs in local Arnold hairdressers and then they worked on the tills at ASDA Arnold and ASDA allowed them to transfer to tills at the ASDA store local to their universities !! (a lot of big companies let students work in their home town and uni' town)

Looks like a specialist shop - hiring hats is such a good idea! No 2 - funny that! No 3- hope Harry remembers to put out the brown sugar!

@phil_howcroft That sounds a great idea Phil...Lydia has another Saturday job too in a gift shop in Longridge but she gets discount at this shop so is very happy to work there as you can imagine. I am sure she will try & get a Saturday job wherever she goes to Uni.

Another attractive and intriguing looking shop front, nice to find these type of shops that have the "something different" in them.
October 26th, 2013  
Great capture. I must tell you that I enjoy reading your description :)
October 27th, 2013  
What a great shot. The more I read about your B&B the more I want to stay there
October 27th, 2013  
An intriguing looking shop!!! Although baseball caps are more my style.
October 27th, 2013  
Another great shop shot! Lydia must love working there. (And you must love visiting her when she is there!)

I love small independent shops like this
October 27th, 2013  
Hats for hire? You can rent hats? People over here probably wouldn't do that.
October 27th, 2013  
A woman's dream, a new shop
October 28th, 2013  
Another lovely shot in your series :)
