Default Advices Needed to Go Full Time

Hi all,
I've been doing freelance online handmade items for parties and weddings for the past 3 years. Due to time constraint, it was more like a hobby then a business.

I've decided to go full time into it though for this year and hope to hear some sharings from those into retail selling. If I have 30 to 50K of startup capital, but need time flexibility and lack of experience, should I 'grow' from my online status to :

1) Get an office and go for non-permanent stalls like flea and bazaar.
To build up more awareness on the current business model and expand on it. I get to retain my flexible schedules and and I guess, easier to absorb wrong decisions made for the initial part.

2) Get a retail shop in less popular areas.
I guess it is a dump all in and prays it works out situation. And I thought can get other handmade online shops to consign their products while the shop earns commission from the sale?
