Exciting Changes on the Horizon

I've slowly been getting back into my business over the last couple of weeks.
I've completed a number of projects.

I've also started the ball rolling on obtaining a little shop space in a business in town that is one of those each-room-is-different-vendor kind of shops. You know the kind.  Some rooms very artistic and antiquey, some more junky with lots of used clothes and stuff.

And truth be told, I wasn't exactly able to secure a "room".  More like an alcove.
A glorified hallway.
Where the restrooms are located.
Hey, we've all got to start somewhere, right?

And I've always been a silver-lining kind of gal, so I'm thinking, "More foot traffic!"
<Positive thoughts, positive thoughts, positive thoughts>

Anyway, I will post again when I have the space all set.  I have big plans for my tiny space.
Paint.
And shelving.
And a cool door and a shutter that I just picked up at a couple of yard sales.
Maybe a banner?
I think it will look cute and homey when all is said and done.

Oh, I almost forgot my other news!  I have come up with a logo that the design team at Staples is going to put together for me.  It will hopefully be ready for my stamp of approval in a couple of days, so it should be making an appearance right here on my blog sometime next week.  So keep your eyes open!

 
Yes, this picture was taken in 2016.
We have a very large Amish community in my town.
The sound of horse hooves clip-clopping down the road?  Very grounding.
Don't knock it till you've tried it....

  1. Best of luck, my darlin! You'll go gangbusters. Here's a silver lining thought. You can down those 10 a 8 oz. of water daily...you know...being so close to the washroom and all.
    Seriously...all the best my beautiful, talented cuz. Can't WAIT to visit someday and get crafty with you. Love you!

  2. Looking forward to seeing your space. I'm always in similar shops. One favorite thing I buy is sings and banners. I know it's easy to make them, but honestly, I just buy them at a shop already done because I have no imagination past "Happy 4th". I would encourage you to sell a few in your shop and see how fast they go.

  3. Yes, barn wood signs do very well for me. I currently sell my things on a consignment basis in a little shop called Rooted, but I'm really eager to see how I do in my own little space in the Odds and Ends shop! And I have some burlap banners on order, so I'll make up a few of those to hang. Thanks!!!
