Others are just some that I make at home for fun (and to blog about). My brain likes to be picked regarding the B&B industry, feel free to ask! I also have a lot of information about the industry on my blog, though much of it is Maine specific, but some might help... it's http://maineinnbroker.blogspot.com. But feel free to email me direct!

Welcome to Dancing Spoon! Your dream brought a smile to my face ... I shared your B&B dream at one point but the "who does the cleaning?" part scared me off! I also thought about owning a cafe open just for breakfast & lunch.

Please check out our groups and share your ideas and recipes. Glad to have you with us.
