Starting a Niche Business

Ahh, I am in the beginning of starting a niche business. I am selling garden gnomes. Those little bearded men that sit out in old ladies backyards. No, not your grandpa's viagra popping poker club. I mean little gnomes. Foe of the troll. Friend to the earth and good luck to whomever has one in their garden.

Garden Gnomes started in thurigia, Germany in the 1880s. This man, named Griebel, observed miners stooped over in them mines all day. He thought that this would be a good sculpture to produce. He got August Heissner to hellp him out and draw it. The Heissner gnome became a big hit. The miners would buy their likeness and for the fact that a garden gnome doesn't need any maintenence.

So, that brings me to me. I was aching to find employment and working for someone else in a cubicle would suck out my soul and render me helpless. So, I looked out my window and saw my collection of garden gnomes. Their wise kind faces smiled back at me with a look that made me feel wonderful. I realized I should sell what I like. That would be Garden Gnomes.
