I agree that owning a store is no where near the fun of having space in an antique mall. I like being able to bring new antiques in and someone else handles the sales.

So glad you did, but so sorry for the reason. And you're so right. Owning a shop is SO not what we think it will be.Wanda @ Just Vintagehttp://shopjustvintage.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856818347728923456.post-87822176623015766712011-04-21T12:00:39.370-05:002011-04-21T12:00:39.370-05:00Thank you so much for the comments everyone.

Or maybe it's because I don't think about dusting until you can write your name in it.

Also love the title of your blog...I adore titles that show thought. If only you could see the inside of our old house {I seldom show it on the blog}. I usually only show our pretty little yellow house. My Joe says "only the pretty for the blog" picking on me. Your old house is adorable and the walls are wonderful. And there will always be dust...mine is 150 years old! hugs♥oliveOlivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562775041134498313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856818347728923456.post-63032188431206229492011-04-20T20:45:41.760-05:002011-04-20T20:45:41.760-05:00Love what you've done to the place!

I was just beginning to wonder if it would be fun to have my own shop. I'm listening to ya! I do have a booth in an antiques mall. Work, but I really like it. <br />Great post!<br />Karen<br />Ladybug CreekKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323076493744748557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856818347728923456.post-11928434341950559532011-04-18T14:32:58.833-05:002011-04-18T14:32:58.833-05:00Thank you Lauren!
