As of Monday after next, SO no longer has a job.
He hasn’t been a casualty of the financial crisis. He no longer has a job because things are going so well. Mr Bucket sales are through the roof and he can’t keep up.
You’ll remember that Mr Bucket started Going Off back in March. I forgot to blog about the Rose Street Market fashion-show-with-models for L’Oreal Fashion Week. Which was a whole lot of fun – see the ultra-professional Bucket segment here. Ahem.
He’s started running the stall on St Kilda Esplanade on Sundays and has been included in this book.
Wolf at the Door, a new place in Hepburn Springs, bought a fuckton of T shirts and were sold out by the weekend after that. He also had a writeup in Men’s Style mag – no link for that.
Week after next Mr Bucket moves into his new studio in an old factory in Brooklyn, next to an artisan associated with the Wolf at the Door, who runs a bronze casting foundry.
Oh, and he has bought this thing, which is really cute, but the exciting part for me is that our family mitsu-bashi isn’t the Bucket car any more and I get to do things on weekends like a normal person!
So, life is set to change. It seems all go for the Buckets and unusual and exciting things are happening all the time. SO has his books all in order and is doing his own super and insurance and everything properly. I’ll be looking at the Dow and the Futsi and the All Ordinaries with more than usual anxiety in the next twelve months and hoping we don’t have this W-shaped recession that some party poopers are talking about.
Excuse me while I just go and hyperventilate into this brown paper bag.

Oh. Birth of Bucket Enterprises. He has made your family proud.
Missed this the first time around, must have had my head in a…. oh, never mind.

and yay for unusual and exciting things
And it only took 2 years.
None of your success is a result of my post back when you first mentioned the project though.
Congratulations and wishing you further and continued success.
Wow, I’d better jump on the bandwagon now then and get the brother-in-law one for Xmas. Good news.
Thanks everyone!
Annie I’ll fix your link once I’ve had some sleep.
I’m like Mrs Organ Morgan

Tell Mr Bucket this is very cool!
This is cool. Scarey cool. Updates awaited with interest. And good luck to Mr B.
Well done Mr Bucket!
I take it SO is significant other… my concentration is subject to significant amounts of anaesthetic at the moment, apologies if I missed the obvious. Anyway, now Mr Bucket will be one of those ‘small businesses’ that attract political cliches quicker than ‘working families’, budget time will never quite be the same.
I take it also there’s a Brooklyn in Vic somewhere…
Such awesome news! Go Mr Bucket and go SO! Fantastic.
wow, you guys are an actual trend, a fashion trend. cool.
[…] As we are now fulltime following our bucket dreams, I would like to thank someone and give them an opportunity to have their own rant… […]
