Have fun!

That is the PERFECT situation! You have lots of fun!!

How wonderful for you...to retire and still work with the public doing something you enjoy

Congrats, I know that you will enjoy yourself and learn as well.

Have fun at your new job, sounds exciting. Hope you bring a paycheck home.

So fantastic. I am excited for you. Let us know how the first day goes!

How nice! Enjoy your "retirement"!

Are you doing the Happy Dance??

I MOST CERTAINLY am !!! Thanks everyone for your kind comments. My DH thinks I will probably spend more than I earn !!

Congrats. Sounds like fun - I'm sure you will be a big asset to her.

Sounds like so much fun!

Congrats!!!

Hopefully you won't do all those things without being compensated.
I was "paid" in fabric. My actual amount of $ was calculated, then I could pick out my fabrics to spend it.
Enjoy! :thumbup:

I wonder if working at a quilt shop will tone down the desire, that we all have, for fabrics. I had a friend who worked for Hershey Company for the first month she ate LOTS of chocolate kisses and then after that she was not interested in having any.

Terrific! Have fun at all you do. froggyintexas

Congrats! That does sound like the perfect part time job after retirement. I'd be doing the happy dance too!

That is funny, because - for a little while I worked for Nestle - I eat very little chocolate now !!

Sounds like a dream come true to me, enjoy. Think of all the new quilting friends you'll meet.

That is a job made in heaven. Enjoy.

This is very exciing, I'm happy for you. Have fun!!!!!!!

Congrats! Wow a dream job for sure!

Enjoy and have fun! :thumbup:

Sounds like a win, win, win kind of deal! ;-)

I used to work at the LQS and it was so much fun. I enjoyed going to "work". Enjoy your new job! :thumbup:

Think of the Fabric Therapy you get to go through!!!

Congratulations on your new job--it sounds like a blast!

That is so exciting for you. Best of luck!

You have just landed what many of us dream of! Congratulations.

so happy for you.

How good is that! Congratulations.

Thrilled for you; that is my idea of heaven! Have fun :)

I have a friend that owns a shop about an hour away from me, and since it is a new business.......great fabric .....she has 'volunteers" relieve her. She cannot pay them money, she pays them in fabric.......they love it......

Congratulations

This sounds like a scene from one of the Elm Creek Quilts books. Congratulations on a new mini career!

How exciting for you!! Have a great time!

It would be my dream job.

It would be my dream job.

I work part-time in my LQS and it has definitely NOT toned down my desire for fabric. If anything it has made it worse. (LOL) Thank goodness I work for fabric.

Congrats to you on the job. I know I would be in my glory especially if I had to sew for the shop however I imagine I would be bringing new things home with me. It sounds like a dream come true. It will be more relaxing than the medical I also worked for yrs in a Dr's office. Enjoy your retirement. Sue

Well I have just done my first day !!

The shop - sadly - was very quiet but I loved it. As it was quiet it gave me a great opportunity to familiarize myself with everything and learn how my friend deals with everything. I think she was pleased with me as she sent me an email - thanking me for going in and will be sorting her rota out. I will be working just a few days a month - when she needs cover etc. It was great to be "out in the workplace" again.
