Me and my husband always talked about opening a book shop with a café on the side. He would run the book shop and I’d do the café (and all the baking for it). This has slightly fallen by the wayside as you need money for this sort of thing!! So I think I’d have to go with what I’m doing already.
I’d sell mine and my mom’s hand made crafts (found here The Gift Horse), my Scentsy stuff and Body Shop things. I’d really like a little room to run workshops in too – craft, tap dance, gentle exercise and maybe even throw a Body Shop or Scentsy party.
I think I need to look for some premises 😂

Sounds like my dream shop to visit. I picked book shop too. Love your thinking; the book shop and a little coffee place inside. The shelves are filled with countless stories waiting to be discovered, and the scent of old books fills the air, creating a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a place where time seems to stand still, and you can get lost in the pages of different worlds. Can definitely imagine this, nestled within the bookshop, there’s a charming corner coffee shop! Sipping a warm cup of coffee or tea, surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed beverages and the gentle hum of people immersed in their books. It’s the perfect spot to relax, indulge in a good read, and let the words transport you to different worlds. It’s a dreamy combination that would make the bookshop experience even more magical! 😍

I love this!!! I first wanted to do this when I visited a bookshop in Bude (UK) about 30 years ago. It had a few new books but was 2 floors of used books. I loved it and went every day 🥰
