I mentioned the possibility of selling some of your crafts in my shop. I hope you all consider this option! I would love to see what you might want to send. I was just sharing with someone, that because you have to add shipping costs to the cost of making the items, I wont be taking my usual 40%, as that would make the items too expensive to sell realistically. Instead, i would only add on a little bit. If your item is worth $2, i would add on 50 cents. If you need to get $10 to cover costs and to pay yourself, I would add just $1 or $2 to each item. I NEED gifts to sell, especially during the holiday season. Although I would like to keep them in the shop all year round. You dont have to fear you will need to supply alot, nor do you have to worry that you have to commit to sending.supplying all year round. Even if you send one or two things once a year, that would be great. It would make my shop known for the unique, one of a kind, kind of special items! But you could also develop a line of goods just for my shop too if you are so inclined! I am SERIOUSLY looking for artists/crafters who can make me some incredible ample goddess icons in jewelry, drawings, polyclay, cards,, etc. If someone could make plump little angel and fairy pins, OMG, they would sell like mad! Especially if they came in a card that could then be put into a hand made frame that they could ALSO buy in my shop!

I dont want to take up this thread...its not the purpose of it. I respect Jen and wont derail her baby. Do you think, Jen, I could start a thread for crafters who want to market their wares, not just to me, but to anyone on this site? After all, the holidays and other occasions are coming up...I just dont know the policy on this....

but if people would like to send me photos of what they do, PM me for my email...
