A wishful longing and a solution

Have you ever really wanted something?  You sit there and daydream and plan for something that may never come to fruition?  Well, I am a dreamer... I get really caught up and excited in the smallest things.  For instance, I have always wanted to own my own shop.  I even know what gift wrap I would choose for it.  I have been driving by this little old run down building where I live for ages.  A little side info on where I live.... there is no "downtown."  No square, no real historical character.  But, there is something about this building that has always had me thinking.  Never mind the shape it is in or the fact that it has maybe 2 parking spaces.  I just see what it could be.  Do you see it?

It has recently been painted.  So, I have been talking to Mr. Hughes about my vision for years now.  And, here is what my sweetie did:

This is what I see with just a little elbow grease.  This is what it could become.  So where does this all fit in with my life and plans?  Well, this building is still not up for rent, but I have taken a small (very small) baby step and opened my own etsy shop Vintage Junky Style.  I know it may not seem like a big deal for some of you, but I feel like I am really putting myself out there.  I had thought about opening a booth, and that may be an option in the future.  I will be stocking my shop with things that I like and would really have in my home.  So, that is how I am fulfilling my dream.... for now *wink*

P.S.  I don't really have  a Vespa, but we did just buy a Jeep Grand Wagoneer (it is white!)
