Well, I made the leap from home based to store front, ......at least part-time.
Bought THE frame shop in Pulaski, Wisconsin, Main Street Framing. Will be open part-time, a couple weeknights and saturdays for now.
This past weekend was the annual Pulaski Polka Days celebration. I'm not quite ready for business just yet but opened the door anyway. Several people stopped in, sold a couple framed prints. Met some of the neighboring merchants.
The former owner passed away in January so I bought the business from his family. Nobody to ask how things work, where do I find this, that or the next thing. While I was going through operating manuals trying to find out how to change blades and maintain the equipment, my girlfriend was going through drawers cataloging prints and stuff. Found a framed needlepoint with the invoice dated 2001, the customer never picked it up. There is certainly a lot of "stuff".
I'm excited but at the same time asked myself, "What have I gotten into?"
A couple area artists stopped in. Several locals said they were glad the shop was open again, especially with the evening hours becouse they work days.
A lot of framed and unframed inventory to move. I think I'm going to stay away from carrying prints and just focus on framing.
You'll probably be getting many more questions from me now.
