Scout Finch 01

I don't have any small business experience, but I know things that have appealed to me. The idea that someone mentioned about leasing a large space and the renting smallers spaces to other crafters is a great one. There used to be a place like that in my area, but they moved out of the area. I loved that place and did lots of shopping there because of the great variety and the quality and uniqueness. One thing you can't import from another country is community and a place for people to shop, learn and socialize. I am not a knitter, so I have never been to the shop but have heard the commercials for a place called the Yarn Cafe. It sounds like they sell yarn, teach people to knit and do other things with yarn and promote a yarn/craft type of community. They have people who come there for the community and learn to knit and buy there products and services because of the sense of community. They seem to create customers. Good luck.
