I went on a trip with my sister in January and we spent time talking and laughing. One of the things we talked about was the future. You know the conversation, what does the future hold, what do we want it to hold, how do you get to the future you want.
And, of course, that got me thinking. I love my job, I love helping people. But I think if my career was not an option, I would own a craft shop focused on beads and beadings classes. I would have other artisans in - quilters, knitters, embroiderers - to showcase their work and have classes on their techniques.
I love antiques and have often thought about running an antique shop. But I hate to part with antiques which would make selling them to others problematic. Usually people that buy an antique want to take it home. So, I think I would use antiques to display my wares in my shop.
I would serve free coffee to the regulars, always have music playing and encourage people to come in and hang out. They could practice their craft, visit with other crafters, and enjoy friendship and fellowship.
I am getting a picture of the shop in my mind. The question is what to do about that picture.
