There’s
got to be a way that we can take advantage of all that new foot traffic, and convert it into some cold hard cash. I’m sure the same demographic that’s spending all
that money in cafes would flip over our
handmade jewelry if they knew it was here.

swanky lifestyle.
Fight fire with fire! Why
don’t we open up the front window display, put in a little counter, get some
stools, put out some jewelry magazines, and start sharing that yummy hot
cranberry drink you’re always making for us?

opposing force by using its methods
