My "inventory" have changed over the years. At first I really wanted to sell stationary and paper goods. I love walking into a fresh stationary store (Kikki's in New Zealand was amazing). Then, I wanted to sell some useful yet beautiful goods. Not sure what that really means, but something with both form and function. I'm still liking that a lot, and now I'm bent more towards home decor, office gadgets and packaging supplies.
And of course my store would sell some tea, coffee and goodies and be a slice of heaven inside. Okay, maybe not sell, but it'll definitely offer some tea and coffee. And it will have flowers - potted or vased. And plenty of beautiful lighting.
Too bad dreaming is much simpler than reality. And truth be told, we'd need a lot of upfront capital and risk-taking to go with such a venture. I'm surprisingly risk-adverse, so quitting my job and being completely financially vulnerable and worse, knee deep in debt, just shakes me. So I'm thinking about opening an online store and here's what I would sell. For now, the store will be called "Form & Function".
So, here's to dreaming. :)
