If I decided to become a cottage vendor, I'd go whole hog on the business plan - either sales would be $400K/yr by the third year, or I'd bow out. I got kids to feed. New Jersey is expensive.

Was the Lol simlie forgotten at the end of that?
There's a lot of great information in this thread. Thanks to all who've shared it!
As to how to approach the business ethics, the greatest man to ever walk the planet shared a bit of wisdom some years ago that is highly applicable… "Do unto others, as you desire it to be done unto you." What a better place the world would be, if everyone would heed this simple admonition.

NO DOUBT! I'm so tired of seeing my name attached to "face eating" and "bath salts".
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

I used to work in a design gallery that featured lots of "rustic" furniture made with sweet gum, hickory sticks, willow vines and the like. I can't count the number of times a customer would look at a piece and say, "Oh, I could MAKE that!" And my response always was, "Yeah. But you don't."
Despite the attitude of those "I can make that myself" people, we did a very good business. Best of luck to any fledgling cottage hammock maker!! Know that there will always be a market for well-made items. Just make your stuff and live your life.

Mountains have a dreamy way

In quiet covers, cool and gray.

Sorry for the hijack but... Diva there is something just not right in putting a dog in a dress or suitUnless of course it's Halloween.
