Hi
Hi Sam, welcome to the thread. Karen @silvertreejewellerydesign is much better at the east midlands introductions and info but I just wanted to say Hello and welcome. 
Hi Sam
Welcome to the thread, thanks for joining in.
Please feel free to show us any items as you add them to your new shop and the rest of us will love, pin,
tweet and generally share them in the hope it’ll drive some interest and sales to your shops/items. There’s a Made in the east Midlands Pinterest board and I’ve sent you an invite so you can pin to it. I’m also following your shop.
If you can share the rest of the threads items that would be fab 
Looking forward to seeing your art 
Karen

Wow, I haven’t checked in to this thread for a while and there’s lots of new people. A big East Midlands hello to Teresa @ShirleyRainbow, Caroline @Bobblesblankets, @theleatherbowcompany and Sami, @samirhallart. I’ll have a look at your shops now and do some loving and pinning.
Here are my two new listings.
Hi everyone - hope you’re all well and busy 
Helen @PocketfulCreations I love your owly cushions, they’re sooo cute
For all the jewellery makers out there I just wanted to mention I have a small selection of findings, beads and cabs in my shop: http://folksy.it/2hoX0vv
Hope all my fellow East Midlanders are keeping well. A couple of new offerings from me.
Just wanted to let you all know about my 50% off discount code MD50 - hope it might attract some buyers for Mother’s Day and thin down my stock a bit.
I’m actually running my stock down and will be closing it once the plus account expires - I have too much work to do for the photography business to justify the time I’m spending promoting the shop for the returns I’m getting. I love the camaraderie and ethos of Folksy, but I need to spend time on my ‘proper’ job
Hello everyone, quick question, are any of you on Instagram? I’m a total Instagram addict, and I’ve been thinking we should have a special hashtag on there for East Midlands Makers, so #eastmidlandsmaker I’m going to promote it a bit on my account, and it would be lovely to see some other folksy sellers using it! It’s a bit long for Twitter maybe, but I might try it on there too.
Btw, I’m @srainbow_tb on IG if you want yo find new! Xxx
Hi everyone, thought I’d just pop by and see what’s going on…
I don’t have an instagram Teresa @ShirleyRainbow occasional pinterest is all I get time to do but I’m sure others do. I’ll have to have a look at instagram
Your crochet dress is beautiful Sue! Lovely for a summer baby.
Hi karen! @silvertreejewellerydesign I hope the sale goes well, will spread the word to friends and family. Sorry to hear you’ll be leaving but I know exactly what you mean and I wont be renewing either. 
Morning all
Welcome Sue @suebeacham - take a look at the thread to see what we’re all about and I look forward to seeing some more of your lovely makes.
I’m not on Instagram Teresa @ShirleyRainbow but I’ll give the hash tag a go on Twitter - lets see if we can get it trending (ambitious perhaps 
Thanks Helen @FitzjohnAndNoble for spreading the word. Sorry to hear you’ll not be renewing either - I’ve spoken to a few people in the same boat. I’d hoped Mother’s Day would be the impetus, but it’s all quiet so far 
Something pretty I’ve not shown you before - quote MD50 to get it half price:
ooooo…they are so pretty and they match the jumper I’m wearing! Will be popping them in my basket shortly Better stock up on a few ‘essentials’ before you leave Karen! I’ve just put a link to your shop on my personal facebook page, hopefully it may send a few friends your way x
And while I’m here…these are some of my latest designs. Now off to find some Vera Lynn and get a little brahms and liszt
Hi Helen @FitzjohnAndNoble - after the previous problems with email, thought I’d contact you this way instead - hope that’s OK
Than you for the order. I have an 18 inch chain in stock which I can just send. I can get longer chains but I’d have to order one in at an extra cost. Let me know what you think and what alternative length you’d like.
Have a fab weekend
