I'm up very late, can't sleep because I've been thinking about whether I may return to the floral business more full time in the near future...I have had so much creative inspiration lately but with a full time job and child it has been hard to nurture my passion. I am so in love with my hometown of Lafayette, CO and had a great experience today helping my husband sell his glass art at a local craft show. It makes me want to open a shop in Old Town and run head on into what I love to do. The only problem is, there is a large local florist here with a long history right on "Main Street" (Public Road) and I don't want to compete or bother them, however I have a very different aesthetic and business model (they sell gifts and plants as well, do mainly FTD type arrangements from what I can tell). If anyone has comments or thoughts on this I would love to hear! Thank you.
