(peeking around the corner)
uhm….hi! it’s me again! it’s been forever and a day since i wrote….
but i’ve been enjoying my newest mini and my almost 3 year old and coming up with all sorts of brilliant ideas -Â just not computing as much.
(so there)
but they’re both napping….and 2011 is my year to start a new retail business! yiipppppeee!
so i thought it would be kinda fun to chronicle my progress.
what am i doing? i’m planning to open a charming and modern little stationery and gift boutique. i’ve always loved stationery (can spend literally hours in a card shop) and i have a flair for gifts. i think it will be a great combo – and though i still adore fashion – i’m in a phase where jeans and a sweater are all i really want to wear. so onto something new.
my hope is to open around November…so there is a lot to do until then.
my first 2-do is determine the NAME of my new business. i actually already thought of one – but not ready to share yet. still need to get myself registered. still need to decide if i want to be a sole proprietress or an LLC, yo.
please share your thoughts with me on my new journey! though i adore retail and have done it before – the stationery/gift model is new to me. i love suggestions!
xoxo

I’ve missed you! What great news! . Do you have a neighborhood in mind for your shop? I don’t have any stationary/gift experience, so I don’t have knowledge to share in that regard, but , but I’m excited to cheer you on!
