Great ideas. No I don't want to own a store. I just think that we talk about the stores going out and I know there are people who own or work in stores and if we say what we like and have seen be successful it might help save a shop. I want to help the new lady in town so I do give her ideas and even made a sample for her in trade. I like the sewline trio marker...three in one so you can change from pencil (or pink) to chalk on the fly. Kind of like those pens with all colors you could click when we were kids
