The Best Part of Owning Your Own Store

Besides the ability to follow your own creativity where ever it leads is to shop in cool places like northern Ecuador known for its handicrafts. This is one of the places that handicraft nuts like us go it'll be a long, hard weekend but soooo worth it.

So Baltimore It Hurts

Note to Retail Owners in need of quick cash or a boost in morale (provided you have the energy & a little audacity), street fairs are the way to go.
Risks: it's like cold calling - ouch!, people are hot and bothered just like you, heat, exhaustion & incredibly long hours! Did I mention the heat!
Pros: meet new people, get inspired by what crafters are doing, get reminded why you love your products.
