Turning a new page

OK folks, it's been over a year since I posted to my blog and I really don't have any excuse for this other than the fact that I really don't know what I'm doing with this technology stuff.  I am an artist and art and technology is for millennials, not old fogeys like me.  Anyway, I am going to try to do this on a regular basis since I am opening a new shop in Ste. Genevieve and I want to keep everyone up to date on the progress.  I feel like this is redundant since I put the same things on my facebook page but here it goes.  I close on the final paperwork for my store on Wednesday, Nov. 22.  Finally!  This has been in the working since late August.  I had no idea it would take this long so it's been a learning curve.  I would like to have a website for my new store with the ability for you all to purchase online but I have no idea how to do this without it costing a fortune.  I have tried several DIY sites only to stop about 1/4 of the way through because it's too complicated and they don't have a template for colonial enthusiasts like me!  Anyone out there with any suggestions, please help!
