This sounds like the perfect little piece of heaven for us fiber artist types! I was thinking - might Susan pair up with a local B&B in the area to offer a knitting weekend or something? Perhaps in the shoulder season? I feel like her personality and her dedication can make this venture work year round with a little outside the box thinking.... In the workshop we attended with Barbara Winter and Valerie Young, they suggested listing all of the people that are also targeting your market and find ways to work with them. E.g. the hair salon that's down the street from the bridal shop can offer a hairstyling special for those that have a fitting at the shop on the same day. So perhaps Susan might want to make that list.... Just some thoughts. :) -Rebecca Hi Jane -
