The wheels are turning

I looked at a shop space a week ago and have been thinking and praying about it pretty much ever since.  At first I was afraid that someone else would come along and speak for the space ahead of me.  And then after much prayer and reflection I decided to pass.  I think it boils down to not needing the pressure of that much square footage and overhead at this time.  And with the coming children, well, I’m hoping that I won’t be torn in all directions when I really want to be at home making up for some lost time with little chillins.

While we were out shopping yesterday Mom talked me in to visiting a ritzy little boutique that a friend of hers owns.  She wants me to take jewelry to them and from the way she described it, I thought there was no point.  It sounded overpriced and colorless.  But to humor her, I went in briefly.  Wowza!  I fell in love with a hot pink rain coat that was ADORABLE and a white blazer with lots of black satin cord detailing and…  on and on!  Oh me!  And I liked the jewelry they had, it is a similar price point to my own.  And I noticed the earrings that a friend of mine had made.  So I believe that it should be a good fit for my work.  So I’m excited.  When I come up for air from this week’s projects I will go through my inventory and take them a stack of jewelry boxes and see what they think and see what sort of deal we can work out.  I smell possibilities!  And a run through a mental list of similar boutiques in the region got my wheels turning even more.  Maybe this is what comes after my time at the bakery.  Supplying high end bridge market jewelry to the boutiques in my area could work.  Yes ma’am.  Certainly could. 

The wheels, they are a-turning.
