Selling cloth diapers, slings, good no-batteries toys, glass bottles, breastpumps, etc. If I had the start-up costs, I might do it.<BR/><BR/>My never-in-a-million-years dream is a restaurant specializing in "Top 8 Allergen-free" foods. Somewhere where my little Squeak could eat when he grows up. I'm not the cook for that, though. Maybe I can sell someone on the idea...?FosterMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241142922558590017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36983871.post-68947236744409676062007-10-03T18:56:00.000-07:002007-10-03T18:56:00.000-07:00We used to dream of a bookstore/cafe- calling it '...We used to dream of a bookstore/cafe- calling it 'Women and Children First' specializing in women and children's books new and used.

Ever. Anyways, in its original incarnation, it was in a little side basement shop and it was small and there were typewriters on every table. They sold sandwiches, coffee, and baked goods and they had theee most awesome, if small-scale, selection of inexpensive used books in the room adjacent to it. They also hosted literary nights and poetry readings and had community bulletins. It was heaven.<BR/><BR/>I dream of owning that place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36983871.post-55631170166338920932007-10-03T14:46:00.000-07:002007-10-03T14:46:00.000-07:00It actually sounds just like the coffee shop I use...It actually sounds just like the coffee shop I used to go to in my neighborhood. Well, they didn't have beer and wine there, but they had a lot of those other things you mention! Sadly, the owner closed it... after she had a baby, I think it was too hard to supervise her staff and therefore make money.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537772630553572266noreply@blogger.com
