It's thursday. Love holidays. A lot of time to blog and day dream. Hehe
Went out to pick up road tax at public bank. Then went to wee sing for stationaries. They've moved to a new place 3 doors next to the old one. Very successful i guess.
Now im at toyota service center lounge, blogging away. Anyways, some remarks on my day dreams. You know, i have those kinds of remarkable things in mind, sometimes forgotten or stashed away.
One of them is stock stalking. Yeah, ive been stalking the stock market for some time now, but too poor to be a part of it.
Another one is this diy concept cafe. There's an obvious trend in diy-ing nowadays, especially youth who intends to be frugal, and productive at the same time.
Investing on that idea, i'm thinking of a great cafe theme:
1) serves coffee and pastries
2) functions as a workshop
Not just any workshop, but a diy workshop. Like, this sweatshop cafe in paris, where they serve customers coffee and pastries, and providing the tools and equipments to make their own crafts.
I thought, why don't this idea work? The diy workshop could cover on:
1) fabric sewing & decorating: pouches, covers, needle work, dolls, bags, clothes etc.
2) woodworks: cabinets, bookshelves, coffee tables, refurbishing furnitures, gardening tools etc.
3) paper crafts: paper remaking tools, coloring canvas, stamps, decoratives, paper flowers
4) diy from junk
The store will provide tools, advises and books, and the patrons will come out with their own items, while enjoying the coffee. There'll also be events and workshops to date. I'm also thinking of intergrating book rental, whereby people could either donate their books or rent it in the cafe with a sum, then it'll be listed in the cafe list. All the rental fees shall go into the renter's account, while adding value to the cafe because of book rental. Aka mini library + coffee pastry + diy workshop. A combination of my dream cafe. Hehe
