~~~~ Lately i have been looking for a good yarn store and so far i have found only one yarn store near me and it is in the next state over well North. Now yes i do not live to far from the state line but still i would like to have one closer to home. It is only a 15 minute drive and i know i sound silly but i would really like one that i could walk to. There are so many open store fronts in the next town south of me (if i went the next town north i will be in the other state) and i would love to see a yarn and tea shop open up in one of them. But i just do not think it will happen in this economy or this era either. Yes, i know knitting was the new hot thing for a while with all the stars but i am not sure how many people around here actually picked up and are still doing it. 

~~~~ You always read about these Stitch N' Bitch groups that go to the local coffee house to meet and i do not even know of one of those in my town. i have asked around. The coffee house we have well in the next town over but it is there but the Stitch N' Bitch i have not found anyone that knows of one. Now i could try and start one and i may do that. It is just that you read all these wonderful books about yarn shops that groups of people getting together and sharing their lives. (i personally have five different authors on my shelves with stories like this and more in my wish list) At times i think i would love to open a tea and yarn shop,yes there would be coffee too, in town but i do not know how well it would work and really do not know much about that side of running a store. i have managed stores before but never had to do all the ordering and book keeping and all of that. i am sure if i asked my boss who has had a couple of stores before he could help me but like i said i am not sure it would take off and work and i can not right now put money that i do not really have into something like that. 

~~~~ Maybe this is a dream that i will just have to keep for the future and try when things are better around here. Right now i need to think about what is best for Son and i. Right now i am getting ready to go to school for Occupational Therapy. Maybe after i save up money from doing that for a while i can look into opening one of these yarn shops and see how it goes.
