I think I must be going a little potty. I have been to view a local empty shop today.
It has everything I'm looking for in a place to make and sell my things. My (shed) studio is too small and cold to want to spend any length of time in. It will cost me more than at the moment obviously, but it will allow me to have the room to grow.
People will be able to see the things I make if they get displayed in the window and that will let them think about buying items at a time that suits them, not just when I happen to be at a craft fair. They would be able to save and come back later.
There is nothing else like 'My' shop in the local area so my hope is that it will get noticed.
It will be a struggle at first, financially, but I hope to get at least some money back. If I can break even each week at first, I will be happy.
I have to work out all the figures first and Husband-of-mine is behind me 100% Online promotion will still be important to get the word out there about my creations so I must keep up with my Facebook page and this blog.
I have felt for a while that I am capable of much, much more and that I have been letting life pass me by.
I have realised that life is too short for 'what if's'.
