Vivid imagination



.
I've been playing with the idea of getting back into retail...




it's not like I don't already have enough on my plate



this is just how my mind spins and how my brain works



combine my imagination with my creative spirit



and this is what I visualize



notice all the customers are walking out with purchases



no one is empty handed



and such a diversity of merchandise




I could keep going with these fun little water color
images being created in my lap



but it seems the page is full



( a brief history... when I was in my 20's I created & operated a very successful lifestyle store,
it was one of a kind and a dream come true. I met a an amazing amount of great people, some as clients and customers and some that worked with me, many still stay in touch and it's success was how I was able to
purchase my sweet cottage overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Beach, California.
That store was 5000 square feet.
I'm dreaming of something smaller & taking on a partner this time.
I am so NOT fond of paper work ! )

  1. Oh my goodness, I just ADORE your little watercolor shoppers! Not gonna lie, watercolors are a bit (okay...a LOT) intimidating to me, but you make it look so EASY! And how precious they look all on a single page together! :) Oh, and the store sounds like a GREAT idea. :)

  4. I love your "page of dreams" - that sounds like a the best job. LOVE your plate with yellow roses - the long one is my favorite.

  5. Love your little watercolors! You are so talented. I have to make a decision today about renting a space to sell my things at a new shop opening up only 1 mile away in our downtown suburb. A dream I've always had. Time is a major factor since I work full time too. I must admit when I saw your watercolors, I was thinking of taking things into the store, but when you said they were customers carrying merchandise out, I was encouraged, that maybe I could be that blessed too. Needless to say, I was touched by your post and it's influence on my decision. Thank you for sharing.
