When I go up, I want to have my own vintage/all things pretty homewares store. I've always dreamed of having my own store but it's always been just that, a dream. It's not that I'm fearful of change. I love change. But with a family to support, financially it's just easier to work for someone else and have a steady pay cheque each week. But one day, oh yes, one day, perhaps I'll make it happen. Sound convincing? Hardly! Until that day, I will live this dream through the eyes of others like Prairie Collective, the brain child of the makers of Design Sponge.
The making of a store...
What do you want to be when you grow up?

I think your dream sounds great and I reckon it's something I'd quite enjoy doing as well. The buying for the store would be the best fun!
I'd quite also like to be a fashion designer :)
My dream also sounds very similar. Lots of vintage finds plus load of beautiful handmade clothes and bits and pieces.
What a wonderful dream and one day I'm sure it will happen. I'd love a really funky handmade and vintage kids clothes and toys store. That would be so much fun!
i know the feeling. i constantly yearn for my very own cosy b&b in a forest or valley somewhere or a teeny tiny cafe that only sells cake and tea by the sea...
Divine, i work in a Handmade Collective (Shop Handmade) in Canberra & well you don't need to own it, just lease a part of it & da dah, they support over 135 small businesses in one place. It's simply awesome, inspiring, fun & a lot of hard work. Collectives are the way to go, i'm so proud to be a player.
In the mean time, i have 4 children to raise after school hours & no, would never ever want to work full time for anyone else. Love Posie
so there! that dream is attainable... oh, do keep holding onto the dream, because i believe that is halfway there!
hahaha...I love that! Yes it's true I'm still growing up!
You always have interesting things on your blog, I'm sure your store would be amazing!!
I've sent you a couple of emails a while back...but I'll try it again,hopefully it'll work (fingers crossed) :) x
Loving seeing all the grit before the renovation for your lovely store - the elbow grease sure has paid off - can I be you when I grow up - would love to do this :)
