Window Shopping

Today was a beautiful day in Kansas City. Just about 9 days ago it was 100 degrees colder than today. Literally 100 degrees difference in a week!
So Stephen and I got out and about. I decided that we should go dream a bit. Sometimes I wish for a store front again. Just sometimes.
The problem with sewing booths at craft shows is that often they are filled with a little of this and a little of that. It looks like a big mess and no one wants to shop it. Having all of one type of thing displays so much better at a small market.

For my business, the only solution is to do just one type of product at a craft show, then set up a small area showing other product lines, promoting the website.

The other option is a store front where I could set up clothing lines all together, making beautiful displays.
We went and looked at a few store fronts, as well as some craft booths, since affording a store front really isn’t possible right now.
I actually know the owner of booth rental location fairly well. We go way, way back. When someone pointed me towards her store today, and I drove in the parking lot, I knew exactly who it was! She remembered me as well (and even offered me a job! ). She fell in love with Stephen immediately and said he can come to work with me every day. (Who doesn’t love Stephen to be honest. )

But if I went to work, when would I sew? On the other hand, it’s just part time… it would be peace of mind. I could work part time anywhere though. And door dash is flexible with more pay. Oy the decisions makes one’s head spin.

Ok back to the booth. I’d need an awful large display area in order to make it look really really nice with the matching items. It’s not going to happen folks. What we need is a storefront to fall from the sky. One large enough to move our work studio to.

Stephen was offered booths at a couple of locations. He doesn’t need booth locations. He has orders always.

So…. we went dreaming, and wondering and thinking and pondering… what can I do for MY business?

I don’t know.

I did talk to one dog store today and tell them they NEED organic cotton dog diapers in their life.

My website needs more items so I am going to go sew now and give the kid boss the computer so he can work on an order.
