orphan ideas


....i get so many ideas and wish i could do them all........

VINTAGE ALTERED ART SUPPLIES.... i have al the stuff....pages from old song books, tonsof buttons, piles of sewing misc, all kinds of vintage scraps in the 100 yr old range.....
i see companies selling copies of old paper...and i have the real thing.... but no time and who knows if it would even work....

FLEA WITH ME... i would love to do this one....rent a big bus!! and take a group to a big flea market.like kane county or springfield or brimfield........and save tons of room on the bus for the stuff they find.....one of my favorite customers , favorite for being about the wildest woman in business that i know,, and thats saying a lot!!!! she takes a trip like that to paris ...and gets it all home for them...she invited me but i dont fly...

AMERICAN MADE..build a company featuring all american made stuff....i think the retail buyers are s o ready for this....the trick would be to get the prices where americans could afford to buy....i wouldnt be thinking art gallery prices!!!..i would aim for american made at affordable prices... i just dont get it..here we make big cupboards out of good wood for under 300$ so why cant more companies come up with good stuff locally made? we arent that special....and we do make money..... i would love to run a company like that, that reallly produced good stuff made here....i think the big companies have given up trying...

CRAFTERS FOR HIRE.... a company where you could figure out an idea and how it looked...and take it to the crafters and they would produce it for you....i would love that!! i have so many ideas so far over my abilities.... stuff i would love to see and sell but that i dont want to make myself....

TEACH A GRANDMA TO SURF.... this would be such a good girl scout project!!!!i used to have a troop.. the girls would teach their old folks real basic computer,internet, and how to email , just simple stuff that would enrich so many far flung families... i know a lot of women who would ,imho, love the internet if they only knew!!
