own a bookstore

A dream that I’ve had floating around my head for many, many years is to open my own bookshop. My Mum owned one for a few years before I was born. For me I’d like a nice old building on, or just off of, a busy street with lots of foot traffic. A cozy little affair with a small cafe inside (a suitable business partner or someone willing to rent space off of me would be ideal here), lots of overstuffed chairs and couches, floor to ceiling bookshelves, lots of big windows to let in the light and the slight scent of white sage incense. It would be new and used of course, but specialise in esoteric or “Pagan-esque” books. Oh, and a sizable room out back for hosting workshops, tarot readings and other gatherings. An online presence would be essential as I know this particular market isn’t exactly going to make me millions. sigh
