A good way to sell your craft..

A good way to sell your craft is to ask your friends to have parties! All they have to do is invite their friends over for a party. Then you show up and display your craft. And unlike a Tupperware party, the crafter doesn't convince people to buy stuff, or to have parties, or to become a Tupperware seller themselves! The crafter just hangs out, and answers questions if necessary, while selling to people who are interested. Then at the end of the night, the crafter offers the host 25% (or whatever percentage you want) of what was made at the party in free product! That way, no matter how much was sold, the host gets free stuff for having the party! And everyone is happy! And everyone shops local! And everyone supports OUR economy! And the crafter is happy! And the host is happy! Wheee! Check out some of my crafts on my website!

Locally Made T-shirts

I recently wrote a blog about the importance of buying local. A few years back, a discovered a great line of clothing made right here in America called American Apparel! I can notice the better quality immediately. Buying locally made clothing helps our planet and keeps dollars in our economy. I've printed several T-shirts using American Apparel shirts, if you would like to see them, check out my etsy site or my website!

Why shop from local artisans and other local sellers?

My husband and I have been trying our best to shop locally.

WHY???!!!!!!!!!!! Here's why:

-To support local farmers who treat animals better than factory farms!

-To NOT support slave labor!

-To get better quality products (cheap jewelry (or cheap) anything breaks fast!)

-To keep dollars in our local economy!

-To help save our environment (it may cost a touch more but it'll last longer, not get trashed fast, and therefore save you money in the long run)!!!!!!!

-You get things that are so much more unique!

-You get way better service!

-You help create community!

-You make friends!

So shop local, go eco, yay!
