Oh my gosh, lots of ideas so far so I don't think I could add much more. I've often thought that if I had my own shop, I would hope that it is spacious enough to set up a cozy sitting area. Away from displays & fabrics! A place to sit & read through a pattern to decide on some fabric while I sip away at a nice cup of tea! I go to fabric stores to relax, reflect, etc., away from my noisy boys & men!
