Plush Folly & Me

I can vividly remember the first time that I heard of Plush Folly. My Mum had been at the shop opening party and she came back full of enthusiasm and excitement making me wonder why I hadn't tagged along with her. Little did I know that only a couple of months down the line I would begin a two week work experience with Plush Folly that would eventually lead to me still working with the ever growing and evolving Plush Folly team today.

My first memory of Plush Folly

Work Experience... 

I started working for Plush Folly around 5 years ago. At the age of 15 the prospect of working with Sally and her knowledge in cosmetics, skincare and beauty products was extremely exciting for me. Even at that age I was always keen to try new products and I loved make up, so the thought of being surrounded by those products and possibly getting the chance to make the products myself, was overwhelming.

My first jobs at Plush Folly included window and shelf display, shrink wrapping glycerine soaps and working the till. I got the hang of things pretty quickly and began watching and learning the way that Sally worked and how some products were created.  The shop was a lovely size and had an inviting atmosphere for customers to browse happily. In the two weeks I worked there for my work experience, I was excited to turn up each day and begin the days work. Near the end of the second week Sally asked me if I would consider taking the saturday job slot of the previous worker, who was moving onto university.  I accepted, of course!
