| Mystical Garb On-Line Store I think it was 1998, when I first started making Tarot Bags. That was the real beginning of the shop. At first I called my shop the NitePagan's Bag Shop. That year I went to the Gathering of the Tribes thinking I was going to make a killing. I brought with me 3 dozen bags in various sizes and colors. One of my vending neighbors, Clear Bear, loaned me a tarpaulin and I dragged some trees out of the woods to make a lean to for my meager display. That was the beginning of an adventure which I am very fond of. It surely is not going to make me rich, but I do love the vending, camping and such. More recently, I renamed the shop the Mystical Garb. Everyone told me that I had to be more mainstream. During 2002, I did most of the major Pagan Festivals, only to find that the sales were not there. I had invested heavily in new mecrchandise to augment what I was making. I took in enough to get by, but not much more. 2003 and 2004 have continued to be pretty lean years, I got deeper into debt, had to sell my house and move to a trailer. From this new location I hope to keep the Mystical Garb going at least on the Internet and hopefully next year will be able to get back on the vending circuit. This year, 2004, I have made some changes that should open up new opportunities for my shop. I have not vended most of the year, but have relied on Internet sales and a part time job at a local retail outlet. This has led me to better control of my expenses and should clear the way for new opportunities next year. I am planning to pick up a RV next spring to augment my travels. With this I can pack the dogs along with my other stuff in the RV and hit the road for the summer. Be sure to visit my web shop at Mystical Garb. Steve [email protected] |
