BUSINESSES

	My wife has been making beaded jewelry for a few years now. Recently, she decided to try selling her work as a part-time business, so we created Noni’s Handcrafted Jewelry. Sales will be conducted both on the Internet and at various events.
	In A.D. 2001, I launched Dancing Giant Swords. The month before the website went live, al Qaida hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Then the economy promptly went into recession. Even the modest sales I had expected never materialized. DGS struggled on for four years before I had to turn out the lights.
	Before Dancing Giant Swords, I would occasionally sell a sword from my personal collection. In fact, when we were pulling together the funds to buy our house, I sold off almost all but my core collection. A few pieces that no longer suit me are still available here at the Inn.
