SO.....the idea of creating a store for boys has popped into my head. The times are right for it. We have some money set aside and can be used for start-up. I have *some* talent and can at least fumble my way through until I get the hang of it. The information age is booming and there are places like Etsy to get the ball rolling without having to sell a kidney to rent a store front! So, I think I am going to jump in the deep end and see if I can swim. God willing, to use a phrase my Grandma says frequently, I will stay afloat and generate some income in a fun and creative way! Maybe this means that I will finally get the sewing room I always wanted and life can be one cluttered mess after another (Just kidding...I hope!).
I have been researching this idea. It seems there is a market for it. Of course, there are baby and toddler stores out there already but, none are just for boys! There are plenty for girls only or girls with a few cute trucks, trains and planes shirts thrown in for boys but, nothing exclusively made for boys! I have been cruising the net trying to find things that are especially boyish and hoping to stumble onto a site just for boys. When, suddenly the idea HIT ME! I literally felt like the this following phrase slapped me in the face : "Why not do it yourself?" "Really", I thought, "could I make this happen?" Then, after talking to Matt about the ins-and-outs of getting started, ideas started flowing like water! I am hoping to get more in put and do more research, things are looking good, however!
I would say wish me luck. But luck has nothing to do with it. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity! (Sounds like I am really smart, eh? I got that off of a movie --- "Uptown Girls" with the late Brittney Murphy. I have always loved that quote!).
So, send me positive thoughts and ideas. May good things come to those who are willing to do the work and prepare for one's future!
