SOME EXCITING NEWS!!

I have some exciting news! I just this past week rented a small space at a local shop here in my area. This is the coolest store! If you live in the SF Bay Area, you may want to check it out. It's called Room With A Past and it's only open 4 days a month (check out their website roomwithapast.com)! It's in a warehouse and they rent out space to people like me! The owner, Susan, is such a sweet gal! And we sell all kinds of vintage, whimsical, fun things! I am starting out small ... just renting a baker's rack in one of the hallway areas and I have the little bit of wall space next to it. I just went yesteday and fixed it all up ... what do you think? (Don't forget to click on the photo so you can see it all):

I still need to add some sets of the baby hangers I make ... remember these?

What do you think a fair price would be for a set of four? I thought $20. Too much? Too little? I'm really not even sure $20 covers the cost of my supplies and time. I will have to check that out sometime. I would love your input!

I have always wanted to open an antique/bookstore when we retire, so this first step in that direction is a very fun thing for me. Who knows? Maybe I will just rent from someone else and have my little "shop" right within their walls. The next Room With A Past sale is February 18-21. I hope I do well!

And now ... let me propose a toast to my new business endeavor ... let's all raise our coffee cups ...
