Hi, again. I could sit for hours looking at all the lovely stuff on folksy, the thing I love just now is crocheted (sp) brooches, I can spend all night looking for lovely ones and spending far too much money. Its amazing some of the talents on it.:santa2::xmastree::santa2:0

I always fancied getting some of the smellies on etsy but the postage is way too high, so im thrilled to find some lovely cosmetics on folksy with normal uk post rates.
great for gifts, when something is handmade. Even if you didnt do it!It only takes a second to say 'Thanks, you just saved me a few quid!'

You can search on ETSY for sellers in the UK so postage is normal.Wooligans member 2010 - 6 animal blankets. 2 angel wraps, 2 baby hat, 4 Aaron squares, 5 cardigans

If you click on buy you can then click on 'shop local' or 'advanced search' which gives you the option of 'Country'. Hope that helps:)Wooligans member 2010 - 6 animal blankets. 2 angel wraps, 2 baby hat, 4 Aaron squares, 5 cardigans

You should check out www.misi.co.uk as well, its a similar website to Etsy and folksy, and based in the UK.

I have a question - When I was at uni I used to make kitsch style plastic jewellery. I stopped making it quite abruptly because of changes to ebay which I didn't like, so I have loads and loads of supplies left. I want to know how people feel about having two styles of jewellery in one shop. I sell vintage style jewellery at the moment, but I'm considering adding some of my plastic bits to get rid of my supplies, though I think it might spoil the look of my shop. I'd rather not open a second shop because I'm thinking the more traffic that I can get to one page the better. Does anyone have any thoughts?Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.470

Hi, I have also considered opening 2 shops as I make mostly fimo teapots but I want to make some jewellery too, not all with fimo. Id definenlty open 2 shops if I decided to do this. Ive listed 1 mem wire bracelet in my page to fill it up while I get making, but It looks out of place. Id rather keep it all themed.
Your vintage stuff is lovely and I think the plastic kitch stuff would look good in their own page. 2 different styles. Im not sure if you can link the 2 shops so people can go from one tot he other.
You could even try one on folksy and one on Etsy and It might give you an idea what sells best and take it from there.:santa2::xmastree::santa2:0
