Hi Bernadetteā¦I am Geraldine and quite new to Folksy. You have some lovely things in your shops. Crafting is so theraputic and a great recovery tool. Well done for setting up your shopā¦quite an exciting step for you and the others involved. I really hope you all benefit from it.
Best wishes.
Hi Geraldine

Hi Geraldine thanks,
Your baby knitwear is very pretty. Its great that you are passing your skills of many years on to new generations, the art of hand knitting needs to be kept alive

Hi Perky Puffin,
Welcome to Folksy.
Your Mapleton shawl is very nice. I have only recently joined here myself.
I had a visit to your store. Regarding photography the settings for your photos particularly draped by the lake and the shrubbery one work really well. Good Luck!
Hi Della,
Thank you for your comments. I am planning on another shop update at the weekend or early next week. I have had one sale but that was on a very cheap item that I had had in my stock for about three years. I am finding pricing quite difficult and donāt know if some of the items are priced too high - although obviously the whole point of this is to try and make a bit of money. Perhaps I was taking a chance on some of the items by using expensive yarn. However I am planning on making lots of lower priced items soon. Thank you for your observations on my photos, this is something I am trying to improve on. I am not sure I am very inventive with my tags either but will hopefully get better.

Hi Jan I think your prices are just fine. Donāt undervalue yourself. These items take hours to create.
I think marketing and patience might be the key on this platform. I 'm still waiting on my first sale here. Iāve sold bucket loads out on stall and round the borough.
Hours and hours sat on social networks takes up huge amounts of time, as thatās not really my scene.
Best Wishes, keep on at it, 
Della
Hi everyone
Been here before a few years ago now selling Egyptian themed jewellery. I have moved on since and now specialise in sea glass jewellery and crafts with some micro macrame thrown in too. I have also since wrote 3 books on micro macrame and now enjoy beach combing for my supplies and finds and creating unique little pieces of joy.
These forums have really changed and it will take me some time to find my feet around here. I hope to see some new faces and hope to see some old and familiar ones too.

Hello there, I would love you to visit my shop and see if you like my work. I have been asking folk if my work is too expensive, so what do you think as a shopper? Have a good day.
Hi everyone,
I tried Folksy a year or so ago, but didnāt have any luck. I hand engrave glass, wood and silver jewellery in my Dorset studio, and I am back to give it another go! My Etsy shop is really busy (around 40 orders a week) and I would really like Folksy to take off for me too - any tips on how to sell on here would be very gratefully received, or any feedback on my items - thank you

Evening!
I have just finished setting up my Folksy shop. I have been painting for a few years, but it I only now that my eldest has started school and my twin are at preschool that I have actually got the time to focus on it a bit more! Would love for it to be a success so any tips or feedback would be very welcome!

Hi everyone!
Iām Stacy, and I make custom, personalised skin care products with only organic and 100% natural ingredients. I used to have really bad eczema and I dabbled around in various creams so I could make my own potion (and not smell like hospital). I realised that I love crafting skin care for people and listening to their needs so I decided to make a business! Please check out my shop and any advice you have will be humbly accepted. 
Hi, Iām Melanie and my shop is One Day in May Design. I have had my shop on Folksy for a few years now but have not managed to sell many products. I am a graphic designer and illustrator and I produce original art prints and cards.
I recently opened an Instagram account for my shop and am slowly getting followers as I am learning all the time what works and what doesnāt.
I just wondered if any other sellers were in this position and if so, did you find setting up social media accounts for your business helped? If so, which do you prefer - Facebook or Instagram?
Many thanks, and nice to meet you all!
Iād be really interested to hear other sellers stories
Hi! Your bouquets are beautiful and your shop is very professional xx
