New Job

I've been selling on Folksy for nearly a year, it's a great marketplace and has a very friendly community.   I'm really pleased that I've been asked to help out with their blog.  I'm hoping to get the  whole Folksy community involved in the blog alot more.

The Folksy blog will be featuring interviews, treasuries and seller tips to help members of Folksy with their shops.  I'll be planning schedules of posting and asking for input from members of Folksy.  If you aren't already a member of Folksy (as a buyer or seller) then do join up!  Even if you are an international crafter, you can register with Folksy. I'll also be choosing a seller to guest post a Folksy Friday treasury every week and including links back to their blog and shops - so if you're not sure how to write a treasury post, take a look at this tutorial.

You can follow Folksy on twitter too! I hope that you will all be able to help support the Folksy Blog by leaving comments and retweeting when @folksy posts a blog link!, I know alot of you are sellers there and this extra exposure will really help to bring the customers in!

Thanks to those of you who have already said congrats on my new job! It was announced here by Anne the community manager at Folksy :)

Folksy Friday Mini Treasury - Green Party Victory....

Congratulations Caroline Lucas!

Caroline Lucas has just gone down in history as the first Green party candidate ever to win a seat in the House of commons - congratulations to Brighton what a lot of fantastic and enlightened individuals you all are! (We didn't have a green party candidate standing in my constituency, hopefully that will change for the next election)

I thought the above would make a lovely selection for Caroline to take to her new office, and wear in her new roll!

The items above are handmade in the UK and available from www.folksy.com the online marketplace to buy the best handmade and handcrafted items! (Click the images for more details)
