Taking a risk...part one

A few days ago I posted about the idea of using vintage yardsticks as chair-rails but only showed you a tiny bit of the space where they were used.  I mentioned that the space is not what you think.  Here's a little more backstory on the space.

Back in November, Donna at Funky Junk Interiors wrote a great post about "what's stopping you?" from taking some risks to do things you want to do and achieve things you may have dreamt about.  It is a great post and I encourage you to read if you haven't.  It was a funny thing about that post...it was like she was reading my mind.  Coincidentally, she did that post on my birthday.  So, yeah, it spoke to me.

At the same time and even a few months leading up to that November, my pal, Jennie and I were seriously considering taking a risk.  In fact, we've joked about it for years. The 2nd half of 2010 though, we talked and talked and talked about it.  Should we?  Could we?  Jennie and I are notorious for taking forever to make decisions and commit to things.  So, this was a HUGE decision for us.  But you know what?  We decided to take the risk.  So, here's the rest of the space...and the rest of the story.

We opened a booth at a great local antique mall.  Oh my gosh, I can't believe I just said that..but yes, we did.  I think we're crazy but it's been kind of fun...and scary.  We opened it December 1, 2010 at the Lone Star Antique Mall in the northeast Fort Worth area.  Our little spot is called "Secondary".  

It's evolving.  

I have a lot more pictures to show you about how it all came together and how it's going so far.

I'll save that for part two.

So what do you think?  Are we crazy?  Is it a risk you would take?  

Any advice for us?  We'll certainly take it.
