Your Name on Rice Jewelry?
« on: May 06, 2013, 06:25:33 PM »
Is there still a shop at SDC that does "Your Name on Rice" jewelry? I can't seem to locate it on the map on the website. I'm pretty sure it was in the same little building as the cut coin jewelry, next to the Waterboggan tower.

I was just wondering 'cause I have made my own jewelry like that and wondered if they'd ever be looking to hire someone who can write on a grain of rice. Figure I should poke my nose around to see if there's anyone hiring someone with my somewhat random skill.

I noticed that little shop this weekend while we were at the park. It looks like it is closed / shut down. It was dissapointing, it was a nice little shop.
You have a great past just ahead of you.

That store has closed.  There is good news though.  The copper smith is comming back and will be in that location across from the pottery shop.  I am glad to see a craftsman returning.

Oh, that's a great spot for the copper smith!

Anyone know how people get locations in SDC? I would love to bring the rice writing back myself, but I don't know how complicated (and expensive) it would be to get a shop set up there.

My guess is if you want to do a lease shop at SDC you better have a pocketful or two of money. The smaller the space you rent, the cheaper it is, of course. An outside booth or a small shop in the corner of the Marketplace might be reasonable, but I want to say the city takes a portion of your sales as well as a base rent. You should check with them directly.
