šŸ‘‹ Welcome to the Folksy Forums (Read Me)! Introduce yourself here :)

Hi - Iā€™m enjoying looking at all the shops posting here; so inspiring. Iā€™ve just opened my shop and begun listing. Great fun, but quite frustrating!

Hi Hilary
Thanks for your help on taking pictures of Items Iā€™ve made
Think photography is improving especially when we get better weather
Do not think they are perfect but donā€™t transfer with the woolly look now and I have statred putting more stuff on view
Thanks again for the help
Pam

hello everyone :slight_smile: my name is kayleigh and i own KJD Fairytale Creations, I have featured in cheshire life magazine in Jan this year and also worked for amanda holden, i opened my folksy account in may i think lol, nothing has ever sold through it so its just been in the background until tonight when i was almost scammed by someone claiming to be an oceanographerā€¦ doh! anyway i just wanted to say hello and let you know that i make and sell hand made gifts and Iā€™m also a photographer/graphic designer :slight_smile: I hand paint dinnerware and glassware in all sorts of styles and i also take commissions, i love paper cut art and i also do book sculptures. I specialise though in fairy fine art photography editing turning your children photos into something magical. is it allowed to post my Facebook page link at all? anyway hoping to start adding a lot more items soon but trying to keep up with this Facebook twitter IG and my website is exhausting lol! not to mention two little darling running around the house! hope you are all well

Hello Folksy folk! Iā€™ve recently restocked my shop here after a few years when I was mainly selling on ā€˜anotherā€™ site and so far Iā€™m extremely happy! I had 4 sales here last month and none at all on the other site.
Anyway, Iā€™m Julia, forty-something and I live in a small, very quiet, ex mining town near Edinburgh, with my partner Robb and my cat Hendrix. I studied painting at college in the 1980s then worked in retail (for too long) but Iā€™ve been a full time maker for 10 years now, working mainly with textiles. I have recently branched out into doing some design and illustration and had cards printed. Always enjoy trying something new and still looking for my perfect product to sellā€¦next I want to try mono-printing which Iā€™ve not done for years!

Oooh!!! love your clothes Anna, gorgeous items.

I was super super excited to see Materialised had reopened its doors Julia. Your work is awesome. Weā€™ve added one of your fabulous kitties to our Favourite Finds - you can see it here https://folksy.com/folksy-favourites

Oh thank you SO much! Thatā€™s very exciting! Iā€™m very happy to be back :slight_smile:

Hi everyone, My name is Kate and my Folksy shop is Tinder Box Candles. I live in Hampshire with my partner Paul, and our dog (Scooby) and two cats ( Timmy and Daisy). Paul and I make hand poured scented soya wax candles and wax melts. I originally made jewellery, but wasnā€™t having too much success, so I didnā€™t really list anything for a while. A couple of months ago our candle making hobby suddenly took off and I revamped my shop into Tinder Box Candles. Iā€™ve had a few sales over the last few months and we have got into the craft fair scene, which has been quite successful too. We are on a bit of a steep learning curb, but we seem to be doing okay at the moment. Never really used the forums before but there are so many great tips and advice, and everyone seems really nice and supportiveā€¦hope to be contributing a lot more in the future :blush: x

Welcome to the forum. I have been nosying in your shop.
You have lovely candles. Canā€™t wait to see more when you list them.

Thank youā€¦we have a few more to add. Our wax melts seem to be more popular, so we are working on expanding our range of fragrances at the moment :blush:

I love your shop, all the different colours are so bright and make it really attractive to look at. The wine glass charms are greatā€¦love the bunnies! :slight_smile:ļø

Thank you. I try and make something for everyone. doesnā€™t always work but I try.
Those bunnies are very cute. I have a few Christmas and Halloween wine glass charms.to post. Oh and a cat set too.

Must admit I was looking at your melts they look lovely and vet they smell great too.
Why donā€™t you join the daily listing thread. Everyone is lovely and we all promote each others items and have a good old natter too.

Thank you, I will take a look :blush:

Hello!

Just wanted to say hi as Iā€™m back on Folksy after a 5 year hiatus! Now that my products and photography are a lot better (plus some more knowledge gained!) Iā€™m hoping 2nd time round Iā€™ll have some success on Folksy! Also looking forward to communicating with all the other lovely crafters and makers. Jennifer x
