You know you are serious about opening a retail store when...
1. You rent not 1 but 2 storage spaces to hold all the display furniture you will be buying in the upcoming months
2. You can longer get into your garage without a spelunking helmet
3. You reach your 100th post on the blog that you "thought you would try just to see how it goes"
4. You wake up thinking about it at 3 a.m.
5. You have embraced the Excel spreadsheet
6. You enlist your talented sister to work for you as a "picker" at antique shows where you are not even slightly embarrased to use a walkie-talkie
Yes, even though the store is a year off, there will be alot of planning that will go into it this year. I am still as passionate about it as the day I first conjured it.
Thanks for all the support from everyone reading this blog - I can't wait to post 100 more...what a great audience!
