I thought today might be a good day to share some of the sketches that I have been making on my lunch breaks, in front of the TV, at my desk, when and wherever.

They are plans for the shop layout and ideas about merchandising. I know what I really love to look at and what draws me in so I am hoping to be able to pull these visions out of my head and make them real in our shop. 

Preliminary sign/logo sketches, we have gone with a different one:)
And some ideas for the wall with windows.

Some sketches of things that I have been collecting for merchandising. I want the shop to have a warm, funky, creative, french country side meets, gardening artist type of a feel:) Not really sure what that means exactly but I think we can pull it off!

This is going to be my favorite wall:) We will have to wait to see the reality of the sketch but it will be so rewarding when it happens. 

As you can see this project is all I think about these days. The possibility of becoming an entrepreneur and  running our own shop is so exciting and liberating. That is not to say it is not scary and stressful but it will all be so worth it.
