I think it is a terrific dream! There is one thing to consider. You may have already thought of this but, the business end of any enterprise is incredibly time consuming. I have never owned a business, but I have known a couple of people who did. They bemoaned the fact that now they did not have a lot of time to themselves. If you have thought of this and are emotionally prepared for it.....if you have the money for start up, I would say go for it. I would LOVE to be able to buy Kaufman at Joann prices.
