How brave of you to share your story, your heart.....and to continue pursuing your dreams despite setbacks along the way. You definitely have a sunny personality, and now where you live reflects WHO you are! {Not sure what that says about me, since it's my goal to end up retired in Washington State someday, near the beach or on a lake! I love fog and rain!} Thank you for your sweet comments ~ love hearing from you ~ and for including MY comment here on this post. I was surprised and touched.

I have been thinking about finding some signature items for my blog Completely Coastal that I could sell with drop ship, but know nothing about it. Currently I'm trying a coastal theme niche sites, once set up, it doesn't require work. The internet seems to be my thing. Anyways, it was good to read your story -thanks!Maya @ Completely Coastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755183585583197881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948244388711651849.post-82108598857896231242010-06-03T07:51:45.711-07:002010-06-03T07:51:45.711-07:00Your story is so very inspiring!!!!

Your story was touching, to me personally...I owned an art school in Chsrlotte, NC for 16 yrs. Moved to FL.three years ago, and in my garage are all of the boxes from my art school. I can't bear to throw away, I will donate, but find it hard to part with the supplies. I do paint, even got into a few galleries in town, and I'm even selling my art. I finally realized that my life just turned to another "chapter"...Maybe not teaching everyday, but enjoying the joy of painting.<br />Good news is, some neighbors want me to teach their children this summer. I'll get to inspire children once again, and yet continue to paint what I love...anything COASTAL!!!!<br />You are my latest Coastal Treasure Caron!

Luckily this is my 2nd website and I know a whole lot more this time, even though the 1st one worked really well. Just did not work well to have a brick and mortar store and a web store. They are 2 distinctly different animals, and require different inventory, and different talents. My 1st web store was supporting the regular store, go figure. And I learned a very important lesson about Google Adwords...Everything Coastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929822754150590386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948244388711651849.post-66224530835454125692010-06-02T20:38:53.584-07:002010-06-02T20:38:53.584-07:00Thanks Jojo - just felt like there's a whole o...Thanks Jojo - just felt like there's a whole other story that I could tell to help other struggling entrepreneurs.

My friend and I own a web store Beach and Bauble with an awful website currently being redone thank goodness. No shopping cart feature at the moment nor are half the items up. We learned a well laid out web page is key and we are hoping our new one will hit the mark. We have lots of inventory that was wrong for us and other things we didn't buy enough of. One vendor you named downsized their lovely sea life items.<br /><br />We had hoped to open a store but as the economy tanked we are glad we didn't. We are in the process of re-grouping and hope to come out with a bang this time. I am also making things that we hope to carry in the store as well.<br />Although our goods will likely be similar if not the same I wish you the greatest of success.Beach House Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304023289393977207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948244388711651849.post-61920813116505148352010-06-02T14:09:39.903-07:002010-06-02T14:09:39.903-07:00What an inspiring story!!
