@LittleBeader Brilliant thanks Sue
Will @folksycontent be checking the regional pinterest boards periodically to update the gift guides. I am still addding new items when I make them but didnāt know whether they were still active or not, should we be adding to them still?

Hiya, Iām not sure which regional one covers Lincolnshire but I would love to be featured in there xxx
I guess it might be the Midlands one?
If youāre on pinterest, the request to join button actually seems to be showing for that group board: https://pin.it/xhfu666ujom3jp?fbclid=IwAR272o3blIFjR2BE8DInLNeoEOaCeBfcVSswW-iCGEftrfMQsdW_0fQJ9U0

Thank you muchly

Gosh that was quick, thank you @clarefolksy for adding a couple of my items to the East Anglia guide
Hi Claire, @clarefolksy any chance I could be added to the Made in Scotland gift guide? I have Scottish Borders in my descriptions, should I change this to Scottish Borders, Scotland or even just Scotland to be more visible?? Thanks for your help.

Sorry about probably stupid question, but where are the gift guides?
Iām posting on the Pinterest board āmade in Lancashireā, but I guess thatās not what youāre talking about!! Thank you
On the main home page go to āA Selection of Our Gift Ideasā and click on the orange āSee Moreā button. Youāll find all the gift guides there.
Thanks Jan! Found it! Got a couple of items in Made in Lancashire

Hi Clare @clarefolksy can you tell me if this is why I am not included in the Made in Scotland Gift Guide? I have asked a couple of times but not had a response?
Thanks for your help

@TreetopArt Hi Sharon, yes unfortunately your photos are a bit too dark. You might like to photograph your prints in a more lifestyle setting so that your customers can get a better idea of the size and how they might be framed. You also might consider putting your mugs in the centre of your photos as the biscuits dominate slightly. I hope thatās helpful!
Very helpful Clare @clarefolksy, thanks for getting back to me. Iāll hopefully get a chance this weekend to take some new shots. XX
Some of your photos are a little dark, they could easily be improved by just brightening them up a little in photo editing software though.
Also remember that thumbnails are cropped square. Particularly your mug photos (some of which are very small), because the photo isnāt centred on your mug, half of the item isnāt even showing on the thumbnail. It looks more like youāre trying to sell the plate of biscuits. Look at your listings to the little thumbnails under the main photo. Just from those tiny images, which shows the mug the clearest? Thatās the one you should move to the first photo slot.
