I have dreamed of having my own shop for as long as I can remember but when I would think of all the risk, inventory and money involved I would get discouraged and stall from moving forward. As Mark Twain said, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks and starting on the first one.” With this in mind I realized that I could prepare for the larger task of opening a store of my own by doing a few simple things. First,  I sold items on eBay and craigslist to get a feel for what prices I could charge and to see what items were the most desirable. With this step completed and a little encouragement from a friend I’m excited to say that I opened up a small space inside another retail shop! Found On Fremont is located in Portland, Oregon at 4743 NE Fremont and I will be selling a mix of vintage and modern furniture, decor and designer goods. Please come check it out!
