Buy Handmade


Do you need a special gift? What could be better than buying handmade. Hand crafted items are most usually one of a kind and makes such an extra special gift for someone important in your life.


Etsy is a great "marketplace" for all types of handmade items. This includes anything from clothing to jewelry and crochet/knitted items to woodworking. Also available are greeting cards, tags, scrapbooks, dolls, baby gifts, wedding items, etc etc. The list is endless. You would be so suprised at the variety of different items you can find simply by searching around the site.


Joining is free and easy! You can sign up to be a buyer only, which means you will browse shops, purchase items, and participate in forums. There is a feedback system also featured to help you decide on purchases and see how others rate the item and/or shop you may be interested in.


Its quite easy, as well, to join as a seller. Setting up shop is as easy as ABC. Adding and editing items is a breeze and the cost is affordable. List all types of hand crafted items and promote in the forums and on your blog or myspace for interest and sales.


Why not start by taking a look in my etsy shop. I have, what I call, a miscellaneous shop, which means to me that i offer all types of different crafted items. I'm also happy to do custom work as well.



So, please remember etsy! Come visit and surf around. We'd all be glad to have you!!!
