Last Day

Today was the last day of my temp position at Build-A-Bear Workshop, and I am a bit glum. I never thought I would miss working in a retail shop, but I really did enjoy my time there. What's not to love about a job that primarily consists of stuffing bears and bunnies and making up hilarious heart ceremonies for kids to do? It also can't have hurt that BABW was already one of my favorite places before I worked there. Happily, since I worked today when the new seasonal shirts were distributed, I got a Valentine's Day t-shirt to go with the Christmas one I got when I started working there. The shirts, along with the moose I got for Christmas and my lanyard will serve as great reminders of the fun I've had there. 

Yesterday, I marked the end of my tenure at BABW by buying one of the new "Lil Bunny Big Ears." I wanted to get it while I still worked there, because I was able to stuff it myself rather than having someone else do it for me. Afterwards, Nadia made up a heart ceremony for me to do, and Will took pictures and video of me doing it. I named my bunny "Devon Kaye," a combination of the British county in which Exeter is located and my middle name. I had a lot of fun with it, and the bunny is really cute.

Now that I officially no longer work at Build-A-Bear, I'm planning to join the Stuff Fur Stuff Club so that I can get discounts on my future purchases. After all, it's still one of my favorite shops, so I'll definitely be back soon.
