I think that my shop has a split personality...

but I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. It's probably bad because the items appeal to two entirely different audiences and where I want to go isn't where I started out. The hats and bags appeal to latter day hippies who generally don't want to buy a $250 sweater and the people who buy the sweaters wouldn't go near a hippie store. So, option one is to take all of that stuff out of my shop and just aim for a high-end audience but if I do that my shop will be practically empty and that doesn't look good. Option 2 is to leave them there permanently so that I have some low-priced items and hope that the big spenders aren't turned off by them. Option 3 is to replace them with sweaters as I make them so that the shop at least stays the same size for a while and work on thinking up some lower priced designs that are at least somewhat unique. So far I don't have a single idea for hats, scarves, necklaces or hand warmers that someone isn't already making. Option 4 is to open a second shop for the hippie stuff but that seems like a waste of time since I'm not planning on making any more of them. I don't know - what do you think?
