    You're funny! Opening the store is like having a baby; there's never a "good" time or "enough" money. Just do it. :)

      Tanya dear, I still have your mini on display in the Beehive and your picture on my bulletin board. One day, you will come to Los Angeles and you and I will meet! Agree? Big time hugs

    You can do it! Many stores have just a few items.If it doesn't fly or its too stressful, close shop. What have you lost HAHA..so easy to tell other people to do it, sorry. But I love you videos, projects and art style. If a store is what you really want, I believe it would be wonderful. Just support , no push.
    Good luck figuring out what will work for you and family but your "fans" love your work and videos!
