Well, the women of the Kenmore VIEW Club certainly know how to make a proud shoe shop owner welcome! I was their guest speaker for their 36th birthday celebration yesterday and not only was the dress code "If the shoe fits", but there was a shoe-related quiz and the tables were decorated with gorgeous paper shoes, one of which now has pride of place here at the shop. It was a pleasure to share my story about becoming a small business owner and reflecting on my career where I often landed jobs that I had no idea how to do! Opening my own shoe shop is a classic example of this!! The Kenmore View Club was the first View Club to be established in Brisbane and currently supports 14 students through The Smith Family. Big shout out to the gorgeous Fi who organised for me to speak and to the very creative Jenny who made the paper shoes and lovely Marion, a long-time customer who is a member of the club. x
