Has anybody heard of etsy? www.etsy.com/buy.php I only discovered them yesterday. They sell homemade items and except paypal. What a great way for people to sell their wares. Cheery I could imagine your peg doll angels on there! The prices are all in dollars, but there are UK sellers on there. I typed in Chicken and Hen, you should have seen all the lovely things that came up! ;D The little girls handmade dresses are soooooo lovely, and not too badly priced considering. |

Never heard of it, Emsey, but what a good idea.... We ran a shop selling local craftspeople's stuff in my Mum's barn for a while. It was very popular but we had to shut it when the council demanded a huge rise in the rates, more than we took in a year! I still think there is a huge market for that sort of thing, there are a lot of very gifted people out there... Good idea for selling Cheery's angels too....I hope she reads this!

Same as Ebay, isn't it? Even similar layout. |

www.scrummythings.co.uk/index/Welcome__lavenderThis website is run by an ex-colleague of mine..I lost touch with her quite a while back when she left lab work and went back to her first love, art. She now runs a one woman sweat shop in Nottingham, she's very talented. If you click on the link to her e-bay shop on the left of the page) you can see more of her stuff.

Cheery your friends shop looks amazing! I have some handmade bunting in Holly's room, but its not as pretty as that. I've been writing to my friend since I was 14 and she was about 12, although she's only a tiny bit younger than me, in my head she's still in her teens ;D and I always feel proud she's so conscientious and has so much to say and does so much! ;D She's such a good friend, I'll have to meet her one of these days  |
