No, I'm not moving to Europe (wouldn't that be nice?). Next best thing ... I'm working for Anthropologie!Just before the holidays I noticed that they were hiring for a merchandiser... specifically for their home department. Um... hello? Moving things around to make them look pretty? I do that all day! Now I get paid to do it and the boy doesn't have to put up with my constant rearranging at home since I get it out of my system at work. There's a lot more to it than that, but I won't make you insanely jealous with all the details. Let's just say it's very, very awesome.
So, forgive me as I go through a little state of transition adding a daily merchandising schedule to my blog and interior+event design schedule. Life is hectic, but so worth it. And, since I'll be needing a little assistance, all of you who emailed me back in November about the internship positions will be hearing from me very soon, now that I know what my days are settling into.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend...!

How exciting Cassandra! I'm in the downtown store often...maybe I'll see you merchandising?? My boyfriend is a merchandiser for Evo, the snowboard/ski shop in Fremont, he absolutely loves it as well. Congrats on the made-for-you position!! xo
ReplyDeleteway to make it happen girlie!! What a perfect job for you!! No worries we will all still be here to awww in all your gorgeous posts and tweets : ) CONGRATS
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I know several people who work at the UO headquarters here in Philly and they love it. Good luck! I'm sure your new position can only make your amazing posts that much more spectacular! Sometimes I feel my readers might think I secretly work for the UO brand...I so frequently post products from UO, Free People and Anthropologie...they're too good to be ignored!
ReplyDeletecongrats! that is so amazing!! you deserve it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThats so great. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It sounds fabulous. =)
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is that!?!? So exciting, congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That sounds like the perfect job. I've always thought that it would be amazing to have a wedding reception in that space. On the 2nd floor? Although navigating those stairs in heels in a dress could be treacherous.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I almost applied for that myself but I already have a full-time job, although it's not nearly as exciting as merchandising for Anthropologie.
ReplyDeleteJealous! I've been reading for a long time but i don't comment much. Feel free to promote any lovely Anthropologie goodies here. :)
ReplyDeleteNice move!
ReplyDeleteOh this is just delightful - if they are ever asking you for a Chicago counterpart, go ahead and pass along my name ;)
ReplyDeletecongrats!
Congrats! You couldn't be any more perfect for the position!
ReplyDeletehow exciting! enjoy!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new position!
ReplyDeletedream job! yeah!
ReplyDeleteWow, Cassandra that's great! Congratulations! What a fun job. I will often go into Anthropologie just to take in all of the design & merchandising. It does play an integral role in a business and you're at the core of it. How wonderfully appropriate!:)
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW - that is insanely awesome and SO perfect for you! Congratulations and I hope you continue to keep us updated.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous! And now you will get fab discounts too! CONGRATS!
ReplyDeleteThat is GREAT NEWS!!!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't LOVE ANTHRO!!! What an amazing opportunity! I just noticed they were looking for interns in my area, although you have to be enrolled in classes....where was this 1 year ago when I was enrolled!
Wow, how exciting! Congrats! :)

Congrats on the new job! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job! I have a question for you: Where do they find the mixed media decorations/art for the store? I love to see all the interesting designs in all the stores, like this month it is a fabulous peacock made from the pages of a book. I was wondering if they have their own team or do they visit local art schools?

ReplyDelete" working" for anthro...what a dream! I adore their stores and the ever present sense of whimsey and joy that surrounds you from the moment you walk in the door.
ReplyDeleteI am a prop stylist, work mostly on food shows and cookbooks...I love what I do..the other day I was outside at our bbq pit in the snow lighting a bonfire.. to appear in the background of a hot toddy shot for a cookbook _ I stopped for a second just to appreciate that this was actually a "work day" and I was one lucky girl! I am sure you will be pinching yourself often too. Best wishes on your new adventure!
Fun times! I am glad it is all going well! Be sure to take pics and send so we can see all the goodness you create!

Have the best time and don't forget us here ah?
Fantastic! I hope you love your new venture, what a perfect fit!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome. Congratulations. I guess, I'm a little late hearing the news. I always wanted to have that job. I worked for Anthropologie as a sales associate about a 3 years ago, because I wanted to see what it was like and see if I could get my foot in the door for a merchandising job. But the drive was quite a distance for me so I only stayed about 2 months at the job. I really loved it thought. It's a great atomosphere. Which one do you work at, Seattle, University, or Bellevue? Anyway, congratulations!
