More prosaic people would call the journal a draft of my business plan, but I’m not prosaic, and I don’t plan to secure financing for the shop. So, I can call it by a name that is alive and vibrant. I’ve done this before. I will start with online and festival sales, and put the profits back into more stock. Eventually, I’ll bring other artisans in as a collective, and we will open a storefront.

This may sit on my list for a few years, because I need copious time to do this properly, and I’m not going to have enough time until I finish what I’ve set out in my current career and move on.
