I've been giving this some thought.
What I had said on the newsstand thread was related to operating a retail establishment, which is not what I truly want to do. (allthough a cozy existence surrounded by books still beckons. If only I could make as much doing that from the get-go that i'm making now ... )
My absolute preference would be to have a home-based crafts business, doing whatever struck my fancy. I'm into a lot of different crafts, including beadwork, crocheting, knitting, making dreamcatchers, and such ... I'd like to learn spinning and basketweaving intrigues me (you have no idea how disappointed I was when I found out that basketweaving was NOT an activity at the mental hospital I work for.)
I've also dabbled a bit in candlemaking and have bunches of ideas that I'm wanting to try out, but the apt. I live in currently isn't set up for large scale production.
There's also things like stained glass, which I did a bit of in college and never really pursued, but I've tried to stay away from the expensive lots of equipment crafts.
One of the big benefits would be that if I didn't want to go out, I wouldn't have to ... not having to commute would make me VERY happy.
