MY OWN BABY BOUTIQUE?? im thinking about it.

so not long ago, i was at an indoor flea market right up the street from my house, and  met some ppl, one was a young girl who wanted me to make her a crochet tie, and i did, and went back to give it to her and she wasnt there, but the guy she works for was telling me and craig about an event they are going to have in march, which i was interested in doing, but flet it was way too soon to get anything together for it byt he time it came together...

and as we walked around i was noticing, there was NO baby stuff..ANYWHERE...i mean here and there, but not a store that exclusivly dealt in that kinda thing.

which got my brain to thinking...
I could have a booth and have it geared towards baby stuff, and have all kinds of baby things in it, and hand made crochet things, edged out blankets, crochet bootie bottoms, crochet blankets, bonnets, booties, diaper covers, etc... and  maybe...make some cash.

so we went back today to find out about rates for a booth, one preferably that has a way to close up the store in and not have to go and get stuff  to lock everything in when i leave the place.

so we asked.

and we found out the one size i liked (wish i had a camera, id have taken a pic of the booth i like) would be about 130.00 a month.

thats 35.50 a weekend. divided by 2 days = 16.25 a day in sales just too keep the place open.

pretty sure i can do that.

if i did 35 a week, thats 140 a month, so by the month, im saving myself 10.00 on the rent.

i like the fact its inside, and ppl can just  stroll by, through, stop by...look in, and be away from the elements. and cold, hot, whatever it is that happens in the outside.

so, now, i have to concentrate on building product (which im doing some with Ms stuff im buying off of her.
and looking into getting some kind of rack system to hang stuff, aling with hangers, and shelves, pegs, bags to hand everything over in to the customer, some kind of cash regisrer, change box.
maybe a small TV, or radio...a couple of chairs so i can relax with some elese there.


oh, and a name for this boutique, im hoping i could sell some dolls there as well.
business cards, have to have those, and some kind of card holder for them.

oh the list can go on..lol
