Hi! lovely items in your shop! I especially like the tea cosies; nothing better than tea from a pot with a pretty cosy! Will pop back to see what other goodies you have!

Re introducing my shop Kinnaird
I`ve been selling on folksy for a few years now but nothing for a while so not sure I am being seen anymore so thought I would give myself a bit of re-introduction
Hello everyone, great to see such a friendly bunch. I canāt believe I waited this long to join!
Hi Everyone,
I was selling on Folksy about a year ago, then took a bit of a break. Am happy to be back.

Hi All, have posted in other threads but thought Iād better do this too. Iāve been on folksy for over a year now but trying to really get it going properly. Iām Paula, have been making jewellery since I was a kid, did a couple of years of silversmithing as mental relaxation during my A Levels. I used to make bead jewellery that was sold to staff, a stall at a school craft fair and so on. My supplier went under so I did, but Uni was looming. Iāve always been creative, cross-stitch and knitting since I was 7, Mum taught me, and growing up overseas there was little tv etc so plenty of time to do crafts. I still made a few bits and bobs of jewellery, something to go with a ballgown and so on. About 6 years ago a friend had commissioned a special dress for the school prom for her form leaving, and I offered to create something to compliment it. Iād forgotten how much I enjoyed it and felt those creative juices flowing again. I found some new suppliers, this time gemstones, rather than shell, plastic, wood and glass and have gone from there. A couple of wirework courses and a true addiction was born. When I see the beauty nature creates, I donāt see the point in using anything else now. Most of my sales have been offline but Iād love to really develop online sales. In the real world Iām a Maths Teacher, so often my creativity has to go in fits and starts around the job, the bonus though it a number of regular customers, especially at this time of the year! Iām always interested in feedback, I know some of my photography needs upgrading, Iāve been waiting to see some sunlight for a fortnight now to improve some of them!
Hello! Iām sort of new - Iāve been away doing an illustration degree and am finally back, with a makeover! Take a look at my new look shop =] Itās good to be back on the forums!
I think I clicked the right reply button
Iām very new to crafts in general, Iāve started to whittle wood and Iām just starting out at basketry (both of which stem from a long time interest in bushcraft, with no practical experience haha).
So I donāt really have a craft but strangely, wanting to start a craft business!
Any tips or pointers are welcome, even ādonāt do it, you know naaaathingā will be taken on the chin.
Iām interested in traditional crafts mostly, but the odd shiny thing has caught my eye on here, soā¦
Hello Folksy!
Hi, Iāve just joined Folksy today. Iām getting my head around the listing process but am still completely baffled by the forums! My shop will be mainly wedding stationery, not much listed yet but Iāve got lots to add. Think it might take me quite some time though!!

Hi!
Iāve been selling on Folksy for a little while and have just made my 10th sale (yay!) so thought I would mark the occasion by finally joining the forums.
Hello everyone!
Hello! Lovely to view the fabulous designs in your shopā¦those dotty tea cosies are wonderful!
Thanks so much! I love your felted items - especially the pod of peas. So cute!
Hi im a newbie to Folksy only just discovered it a few weeks ago so iām still trying to find my way around. I have always loved anything crafty and Iāve been sewing for more than 30 years but its only recently that i decided to try and turn this from just a hobby into a small business.
Welcome to folksy
Hi everyone itās good to be here. Been introduced to the crafting world by the mother in law. Iāve especially grown to enjoy paper crafting. It fits in well with my graphic design background. Iāve just launched my graphic design shop called sixth brand. I love creating graphics, logos and creating brands for businesses. Looking forward to getting to know you better.
Hi ,
My name is Nina and my shop is called Designed 4doing!
Hello everyone, I used to be on Folksy years ago and now it looks all grown up! So I thought Iād come back and see how it goes! I have only listed three items so far - I sell jewellery making kits for kids - so fingers crossed.

Hi Everyone
My name is Debbie
I am just getting to grips with the forum after spending most of the day listing items, wow doesnāt it take
a long time!
I have dabbled with most crafts over the years, but kept coming back to sewing with felt.I just love
the fact that it doesnāt fray.
Then i found out about 100% wool felt, the quality and colours being so much nicer than acrylic craft felt.
My love of felt and then the rest of the pretty buttons and ribbons etc led me to selling supplies for other crafters at craft fairs.
I will be selling mainly buttons, ribbons, die cut felt shapes, letters and numbers in my Folksy shop.
Look forward to another day of listing tomorrow, yippeee!
PS. I hope this is in the right place?
