MasonCJ and IndenturedMason

Every since I took a small business class, about 2 1/2 years ago, I’ve been toying with the idea of running my own store. In my business class I wrote up a business plan for my class project. The plan was for a brick & mortar store that sold specialty furniture. The plan included some very ruff financial figures on what it would take to be successful. On the whole it seemed like an easy idea and therefor a bit unreasonable.

Now that I’ve finished school and had some time to work on my creative interests I’ve gone back to this store idea, although in a different direction and all online. Afterall starting a business shouldn’t need to include paying utilities for a 10×10 room that will bankrupt me faster than I could get started! Now my reasons for starting a store might be considered a social experament or a hobby but I’ve started developing long term goals (::::gasp::::) that would make me a full-time homebusiness, someday. And! wonder of wonders my parents weren’t completely against the idea. A girl tends to look toward her parents even after becoming an adult. James, of course, has been supportive since I expressed an interest back in my business class. Love him!

I’m still working on the details but I now have two stores, MasonCJ for Kitchen stuff and IndenturedMason for Jewelry & Seasonal things. MasonCJ is up and running since early 2009 but was just revamped last week for a more focused store. IndenturedMason is just getting started but has several items just waiting for me to take photos and list. Here are a few pictures to prove it
