That's great, Teresa -- I'm very pleased for you! Having family/friend support would be awesome, but is not part of my experience.
I had good results from showing/selling my work in a hair salon/day spa. Those clients are a captive audience, and often have plenty of disposable income. Beyond sales, many other opportunities came my way from showing in that venue. Also, I found that just showing up was a great way to generate interest and sales, so be sure to stop by the salon occasionally -- with your business cards, of course! :-)
I wish you all the best with this new opportunity! (Don't forget to send a press release to your local media outlets!)
