2. My shop does OK. I don't rely on it for a living.

It keeps me in Hulu and Netflix, and reimburses me for my materials.

The best sellers are the things that are unique to my shop - and the teflon thread that I sell in 10 yard increments (it's $100 for a thousand yard spool, and many people want to try it out before they splurge, or need it for a small project. It's resistant to salt, so it's excellent to use for necklaces and bracelets, and won't deteriorate next to the skin.)

I wouldn't recommend carrying items that people can make with supplies from a craft store.

Were you planning on carrying handmade items or vintage?
