I ...I am the same way when it comes to competition. I don’t like to lose. I think it is great that someone found you and offered you a spot. It is a wonderful opportunity where you can still sell your pieces but don’t have to start your own business. <br /><br /><a href="http://online-phd-uk.co.uk/online-phd-in-education/" rel="nofollow">Online PhD in Education</a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-76087756813968066932013-06-07T22:44:29.364-04:002013-06-07T22:44:29.364-04:00Every time my hubby tells me about the (latest) re...Every time my hubby tells me about the (latest) restaurant concept that he's gonna open, I smile and say "and a market in the front too, right?" Okay fine, it could be in the BACK, but don't you think that a little breakfast/lunch place that just HAPPENED to have a rotating selection of painted furniture/handmade stuff for sale would be awesome? Or is it just in my head? Like a Cracker Barrel except for not. And then it could close at night and host crafting classes or some other such things. It realize it sounds like a mish mosh as all my ideas always do, but oh...it could be epic. rebecca @ older and wisorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774971767610015820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-59433986151816448642013-06-04T06:55:54.042-04:002013-06-04T06:55:54.042-04:00I'm sure you'll be very successful in thi...I'm sure you'll be very successful in this new adventure because you're talented.

I sent you a PM on facebook asking to be included. I think we should all meet and have a chat about doing this!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259368355706216830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-75048789649215319442013-06-03T14:41:47.066-04:002013-06-03T14:41:47.066-04:00I, too, have been thinking of starting a furniture...I, too, have been thinking of starting a furniture painting business.

I've also been wading through a bunch of emotional mess and painting really is the only thing that brings a feeling of peace and purpose and alot of things. I love reading your words.

My son and I have been kind of repurposing and scheming over how to promote this thing before it takes over our whole house. My son actually builds new pieces and makes them look old too. We are kind of stuck out in the middle of the forest without much of a market to peddle our wares. And I still work full time, so this is only a hobby right now for me...and a possible dream for the future. Wish you were closer...or I could start something similar here. Thanks for some great ideas!<br /><br />You can see some of my son's stuff on facebook Ben's Country Woodshop, or my blog has a link and a page for his stuff too. http://pamelasopenwindow.blogspot.com I enjoy your 'stuff" and ideas!Pamela M.
