I live in a small town of about 2000 people, so need to be a little diverse.
However, I also plan to have a small play area for kids and also a couple of VERY comfy chairs and sitting area for anyone wanting to just come in and visit, take their time shopping, or for the weary hubby who is waiting. :)
I'll post more as I get closer to opening... and I would LOVE to meet each and every one of you in my shop or otherwise! HUGS to you all.
If you have the space, think about having 2 to 4 long tables where you could either have some classes or 1 day a week for a sit & sew group. This would bring in people to share ideas, projects, etc.
