Hi Folks,

I'm in the process of coming full circle when it comes to my business.  When I first moved to Vermont to do my stained glass and fused glass work, I was going to work out of my basement and sell through other galleries and gift shops, both here in Vermont and through out the country.  However, I wasn't quite sure what that meant or how to go about doing that, easier said than done as the saying goes.  So, I went into what I did know, a retail shop. 

I moved all my stained glass and fused glass equipment, tools and glass to the new location and set up shop.  Now, two years later, I'm finding myself going back and examining my original idea of selling wholesale.

I moved to Vermont to slow down, enjoy life more and the beauty that Vermont offered, instead, I jumped right back into what I knew...retail.  Now, my thoughts of hiking and biking, and working when I want are calling back to me and I think I may follow that call.

I've started to move all my fused glass equipment, tools and glass back to my basement studio. 

This will be a summer of thinking about my business and where I see it heading.  One thing is certain, that I will still be open through October for retail sales, but, I think I will start working on my wholesale side and see where that leads me.

Custom Stained Glass is a bit more difficult in a state with few people, and even fewer that appreciate or can afford a custom stained glass window.  So, I must examine what stained glass will lead me and how I can make a living.  More to come .....

Enjoy the day.

Bennington Vermont weather today...Sunny, warm!
