Hi Everyone

I have often seen this thread but never ventured in- until now! So will introduce meself:)

I am very interested in setting up a little crafts company- and at the minute am trying to figure out what is a good idea and what is a bad idea.

So am going to read through this thread, but just wanted to say helloo:)

Can I ask though, where is best to source materials from- is there anywhere cheap in NI or is it best to price through Ebay, etc?

I have worked in online marketing for over 12 years, have had a child, just left a crap employer and just been diagnosed with depression. I think i got to the point a few weeks ago that I thought, why dont I use my skills more productively!

I guess it depends what sort of materials you are looking for.

What kind of crafts do you make?

I was looking for cotton and linen:)

For cotton I would try any of the Paragon stores in Belfast, Donegall Pass has the best range of craft stock, no idea about Linen, maybe some of the sewing folks will be able to help you

Good luck with the crafts, maybe see you at some fairs soon

The event will feature a Craft Zone, Pamper Zone, Entertainment Zone and Food Zone, with stalls of a similar type heavily restricted. 2 jewellers are on the organizing committee and several other jewellers have already applied, so I am sorry, but no more jewellery stalls applications are being accepted at this stage.
