The Journey

Its true....I'm going to open a fabric store. I have been dreaming about this for years and finally got the courage to do it. Of course I'm still planning and researching and doing all of that so it will still be 4-5 months before it actually opens but hey - its going to happen and I couldn't be happier about it.

I found THE perfect place. I wasn't expecting to find a place so quickly but when I drove past it I could see my shop there. Its in Old Webster Groves. I'm still working on getting a lease agreement, nothing is in writting (yet), I haven't signed on the dotted line (yet), but I see that happening really soon.

I wanted to start this blog but I wanted to start a blog when everything was perfect. Maybe its the way I'm wired that everything has to be in its perfect place to even show anyone. I recieved some good advice, the advice was to get over myself and just start it now. So here we go. I'm inviting you on my journey. The journey of starting a business, the journey of the exciement and sometimes stress I feel, the journey of having a love of fabric and design. Won't you come with me??

I hope to gather some pictures to show you the idea I have for the feel of the store. This shop's environment is just as important to me as the fabric and products I sell. I would love feedback, ideas, opinions, words of encouragement - anything you feel like posting would be very welcomed.

I will post again soon but for the moment #4 needs his mommy.
