I wouldn't be able to make much of a profit if I had to buy a custom built shadow box, the cheapest I've seen for roomboxes is $50, plus shipping.<br />I am really excited because I just came from an art supply store where I regularly buy things for mini making. The employee that helped me said they would happily display my shadowboxes and miniatures and if I sell one through their store, they take a 10% commission. Such a great deal!<br />I would like to have as many local customers as possible. We could meet in person to discuss what kind room box or shadow box they like, and I don't have to deal with Canada Post.

I think we'll be able to sell them as fast as my Dad makes them!<br />Maybe that's being over confident, but I think there is a huge demand for these small room boxes and shadowboxes, and in Edmonton there isn't a brick and mortar store where you can go buy them. There used to be, but it was a family business that the kids weren't interested in continuing. Oh, well! Bring on the small business entrepreneurs!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212810780417096099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752166493602874522.post-10863569460436719492013-06-03T14:26:09.729-07:002013-06-03T14:26:09.729-07:00Very well said Jennifer :)Very well said Jennifer :)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212810780417096099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752166493602874522.post-1701375058690129692013-06-03T14:25:25.265-07:002013-06-03T14:25:25.265-07:00Thanks :) I feel calmer now that I've pretty m...Thanks :) I feel calmer now that I've pretty much decided on everything I'm makingRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212810780417096099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752166493602874522.post-2289000518339526912013-06-03T12:34:10.304-07:002013-06-03T12:34:10.304-07:00Hi Ruth!
