And in 4 months or so, buy all her shop's equipment for 10 cents on the dollar.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr




OMG! You freakin' read my mind! (Almost) I was thinking that I bet I could go find a place to rent that some one tried to start a business in then figured out that it's not as easy as it looks, and I bet they'd have everything for sale at .10 on the $1!

When I worked at a shop downtown Newport KY, by the river, I was in the back and got paged to the front and to please bring a bag with a rose tip and a nail. (Which was SUPER weird!) Some mother daughter team from a bridal boutique in Cinci kept getting asked if they know a good place to get a wedding cake so they decided to come watch someone make an icing rose so they would know what to do and could start their cake business between boutique-ing, corner the wedding market on two sides and rake in the dough... icon_confused.gif ...They watched as a made a really quick one. Then I asked if they wanted to try. The daughter asked her mom if she wanted to do it and Mom said, "No, that looks really easy, I know I can do that." icon_eek.gif So the daughter asked if I could do it again, so I did, and they watched and nodded a few times and left! I guess they knew everything they needed to know after that! thumbs_up.gif Damn, I'm good! icon_rolleyes.gif
