Entry #11

The first day was definitely a disaster in terms of set up and my dad came down personally to chew us out about how ugly it was HAHA. When we got home, though, he was throwing all sorts of things at me from the storeroom and telling me to bring everything down the next day to see what we could use for the set up. He also kept on stressing about lighting because my family came to visit us at night when it was dark and the only light was the horrible and dark corridor light, which wasn't very flattering for our terrariums.

While there wasn't anything I could do about the lighting, I brought some IKEA planks the next day and hot glue gunned some of the small plastic pots (that the plants originally arrived in) to the bottoms of the planks to create some elevation, as you can see in the second picture. I then used the paper doilies to cover them up so that customers wouldn't be able to see the horrible glue job HAHAHA. I also brought a small, foldable wooden IKEA table that we could open up at the side to do the name customisations or on-the-spot touchups.
