Hi Chris @ChrisStoneArtist, sorry, only just got your message, the only way I could find the Made in the Home Counties Gift guide was through google, and the still had no idea how to list anything, sorry to be so thick! Not that good with this new fangled stuff
On the front page thereās:
āOur favourite finds on Folksyā
āTheme of the dayā
Folksy animation
āNew items from sellers you followā
āA selection of our gift ideasā - these are the gift guides, and if you click āsee moreā next to these youāll get a list of them all (regional and otherwise). The āMade in the Home Countiesā gift guide is currently showing as fifth row down for me (on a computer).
We canāt list anything on them as theyāre all selected by the people at Folksy, but we can make suggestions. Some of the guides have threads on the forum, such as āSuggestions for our Gifts for Makers Gift Guideā, and the regional ones also seem to have related pinterest boards, which you can ask Folksy to invite you to so you can add pins to the board, and if they like what youāve pinned they might add it to the gift guide. Itās best to suggest items with a really good first photo as thatās what theyāre looking for.
Disappointed I am not in the Made in Yorkshire Gift Guide - but there you go Maybe one day ā¦
How do you join the pinterest boards? Iāve looked but canāt find anywhere to join. Iāve joined the knit board but i was invited by folksy to join that.
I was wondering the same thing, and how do you ask Folksy to invite you to join one. Iāve been on here a couple of years now and still donāt know half of it xx
Never mind, Iāve been here 7 years
@Knittingtopia Iām not sure how you do it in general. Folksy posted invites for a lot of the regional boards on the Facebook group though, so if you search the area on there itāll hopefully come up with the invite link.
Thank you.
Hereās a list of the regional Pinterest boards that are collaborative @konyskiw @Knittingtopia @junemccabe. To join, you should be able to just click the link below and then, once youāre a member, you can start pinning relevant things from Folksy. However, the invitations donāt always work (especially from tablets), so if you have any problems let us know, with a link to your Pinterest account and weāll try to invite you individually.

Made in the Home Counties
Wasnāt there one for the home Counties? Iām in Kent
There was! Sorry. It should be there now. Give me a shout if Iāve missed any other ones off.
Thank you Camilla. Iāve now joined.
So this is new to me, how does it work? Is there one for Bristol?
@folksycontent
Iāve seen the gift guides section but all the posts for suggestions are from 2015, are they still valid? Because people are still adding to them. Iām from Manchester and would love to know how I can submit in made in Manchester gift guides.
@clarefolksy, I am a little curious as to why the Isles of Scilly have been taken out of Cornwall (and in turn the United Kingdom) and placed with the Channel Islands. They are nearly 200 miles apart. The Scilly Isles are part of the county of Cornwall and have a Truro postcode!
