Timing And Experience

Last night was the first Farmer's Market meeting. I was asked to bring my embroidery work to show to everyone. So with a bag full of my work and my dreams ..........of being this little farm..........in my mind.........I found myself in a small group of the friendliest folk. They loved my work, my ideas of selling it, along with flowers and pumpkins I hope to sell as well, ...........yet in the middle of it all...........I realized, how really unprepared I am.
I have only small gardens, no tractor, acres of unworked land, and big...................dreams.
These seasoned farmers were talking about their tractors, their acres of worked, plowed land and of all of the produce they will have every Saturday and Tuesday from July through October.
My embroidery takes weeks to months to finish,................. my garden only produces enough (if I were lucky) to sell one good sell. I am thinking of keeping my embroidery to sell "on line" and my flowers and pumpkins, the small batch there will be........to local small stores...............for right now...........until I really get things going in bigger ways. I have until July to give this a lot of thought. Only time and experience will tell.

  1. That is exactly how business' get started...big dreams. Keep at it. My husband and I hope to buy some land some day, and I hope to do what you are doing. My dream is to have a small "road side farm stand".

    I'm sure however you sell your stitching, it will go over well. You do very beautiful work.

    Blessings,

  3. Oh Kathleen, your dreams must come true. I agree with the other comments, don't lose that dream - keep one eye on it and sew-sew-sew like there is no tomorrow. YOU CAN DO IT, I've come to believe in you.
