lauker Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Well, it's not complete, yet (but when are we ever truly done with our mini projects?), but I've been making some serious progress on my little herb/fair trade/new age shop. I haven't named it yet, or have a shopkeeper for it (still looking...), but it's looking like somewhere I'd love to work. I have most of my pics in Flickr, and as I am too lazy and time-limited today, I will post a link to that album. I will try to fill my album on the community more pics. Pics: Flickr album: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindaauker/se...57612466235516/ I know I need to get some better pics of the outside, but there are still things I need to finish, like timbering, doorknobs, a sign, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstina Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Wow! Great progress! Where did this idea come from?? I cannot wait to see more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauker Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 It's very much a combination of ideas. My boyfriend and I talk incessantly about wanting to own our own shop. We both make bath salts and the like for sale online so having a storefront is a bit of a dream. On top of that, my very very very favorite shop ever is in Charlestown, RI and is called Small Axe. It sells clothing, instruments, tapestries, furniture from all over the world. So it was a BIG inspiration to me. I will be sure to post more as I finish it up. Still a few more things I want to make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauker Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 I forgot to add that there's also a metaphysical shop in our area that has cozy chairs for sitting and the shopkeeper/owner is engaging and very sweet. That helped with the "reading room" idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katethesape Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It does look like a 'big' room! I want to go shopping there... It looks lovely - I really like the stove and the the bookshelf (I am a huge book nerd). Great job! -Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It looks as though I can step in and shop. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
