A few weeks ago I was trying to move some soap and lotion overstock ( read : the house was overflowing had to find someone, anyone, to give some to ) so I whipped up a pretty gift basket and headed out the door to one of the neighbors a few doors down to offer up my wares to the wife.
Her hubby answers the door and she's not home, so I give him the basket and ask him to give it to her. I tell him that I make the goodies found in the basket and I was just handing some out to neighbors since I have so much floating around the house.
One thing leads to another while we're talking and at the end of a 10 minute conversation he has offered me a wonderful storefront in town where we live at an unbelievably sweet rental price per month.
Here we are about 3 weeks later.....
I am now the proud owner of an upscale, artisan boutique ! I just finalized the deal with him about what work he'll do to the property and what work I'll do to it before opening in about the end of June.
I've all ready lined up handmade candles, handmade and handpainted furniture, beautiful hand sewn handbags, iron and metal sculptures and home decor, in addition to my B&B stuff, and a manicurist who will be subletting space from me. I'm still looking for someone who does handmade jewelry before opening but I'm so darn excited I can barely function LOL
