    VivThomas, together with her husband Clive,returned toBritain after nearly30 yearsof livingabroadwithwonderfulmemories. 1 OI I lDetermined touse them rather than just keepthem ina box Drthrow themout. Vivmade a shellmirror for her bathroom. Thiswasverymuch admired byfriends and neighbours who c ame to v isit her. 115~ IThat was two years ago.Vivnow runs her own smali mirror-making business.She buys shelIs[rom all overthe world through a wholesale company and hasconverted a spare bedroom in her house into an office-cum-studio.1161 IAlocal carpenter makes frames for her and a glazier then fitsthe glass inside.Vivdoes everything else herself; the design. the initial painting of the [rameand t hen the final making up. 1171 JCliveisa banker and was ableto advise Vivon deciding how much moneyshould beinvested when she decided toset upthe business. Around f3000 wasspent on shelIsalone. t181 IViv smain problem was knowinghow tomarket her work more widely.Local shops could onIysell a smali number because once they had added theirprofitmargin, the mirrors became rather expensive. However,Vivhas nowmade contact with another company that makes and sellsmirrors of adifferent type. 11 91 I At s uch events, the right sort of people g ettoseethe mirrors and can order them directly.Venturing into other areas, Vivplans to approach restaurants and hoteIsdirectly asshe thinks her mirrors might beattractive to them. She has alsotaken a website on the Internet. 120 1It means Vivdoesn t havethe expense oftravelling around with her range of mirrors inthe back ofthecar.

    Vivreclwns itwilltake another year before herbusiness starts to malcemoney.1211 I She w ould l ilceto e mploy s omeone to h elp her with theadministration and preparation of the frames, forexample, which would allowher to devotemore time tothe artistic side.

    A Together they can affordto take stands at specialist exhibitions and craf fairs.B Thisrepresents about one week s work and each mirror brings in anything betweenfI 00 and f400 for the business.c

    AsVivdiscovered, it s a goodidea to find a company willing to sellgoods on yourbehalf.D Beforelong, she was being asked tomake mirrors for other people.E But itdidn t end there, Vivalso had to think about equipment such as the heavy-duty boxesneeded tosend the mirrors abroad.F She works there, surrounded byshelIs of every shape and colour and the other

    materials needed to make the mirrors.G Oncethishappens, she feels she willbe able toconcentrate on the sideof thebusiness she enjoys.H This isa very economical way ofselling.

    She a]sobrought back a huge collection of seashelIs collected from beaches aroundthe Indian Ocean.
