It's amazing how you get answers handed to you when you're agonizing over whether to go ahead and take the plunge or just wait things out. I've been kind of on the fence about putting out more hard earned money on more supplies for inventory. I've not been really convinced I should but worry about having enough inventory for a show.
R. and I ran out for a quick meal last night because we're tired of eating at home on my self-imposed exile following that nasty dental work. I finally agreed to eat in public so we went to Mom's on Main here in Aubrey because I knew I could get a seat with my back to the room. (I highly recommend the hot beef sandwich, by the way!)
As we walked into the place I noticed a flyer on the door about a craft show in a few weeks right there in downtown! I hadn't heard or seen anything about it so we questioned Steve, the owner. He laughed and said "Oh, I just put that up!" It's a brand new venture being sponsored by Mom's and it benefits the Aubrey fire department auxillary. Since booth rental is only $10, I was really interested so I asked for and filled out an application for a space right then and there.
This that means I woke up this a.m. about an hour before my alarm went off with my brain on hyperdrive. I could do this...I could make that...wonder what this would look like....and on and on and on! I guess this means I'm back in the saddle. I've got to get some supplies!!!! I've got to get busy!!!!
Tomorrow I go talk to the bank about opening a business account so I can take care of my Paypal account. After doing that, I can start actually putting items online for sale. I may also look at moving my blog to Etsy or some other online community so I can promote sales a little easier. I haven't been able to pin down the blogger.com people as to their policy for promoting sales on my blog. The TOS isn't clear on the subject at least as far as my interpretation of it so I'm a little reluctant to discuss money with anyone on this site.
I gotta get busy!
Happy Crafting!!!!
