I had long dreamed of being a shopkeeper surrounded by beautiful things but when I started crouching behind furniture, I had to face the truth

thought I wanted to be a shopkeeper, but when I started hiding from anyone who walked into my shop, I realised this probably wasn’t true. I had liked the idea of being a shopkeeper for so long and had poured thousands and thousands of dollars into shop stock, so it was not an ideal truth.The issue was not the people I was hiding from – I just got to the point where I couldn’t handle any new browser tabs in my brain being opened by strangers. Especially strangers who didn’t buy anything.

This was the voice I started hearing in my head when a stranger in the shop began sharing unsolicited information about, well, where do I start? Local airstrip maintenance; their cousin’s grandmother; mosaic artists. I ended up being Bad Bunnings Man. The Galah store in Tenterfield owned by the author, where she could be found hiding behind furniture.I had longed to be a shopkeeper all my life. But I only started talking about it out loud a year ago, under the guise of my business.from a laptop in my kitchen on a pecan farm, an hour out of Tenterfield on the NSW-Queensland border. That is to say, not near anyone. This has worked very well. Then Wendy, who is in charge of mailing out the magazines, said she needed her dining table back.
